To my family, friends and fellow Vietnam veterans: History may be best preserved through writing. Story writing can be such a vehicle. All people have stories to tell, no matter the year of their birth. Stories may vary in detail according to their life experiences. It is here where my stories of growing up on an Iowa farm intersect with your life stories. Some of these stories may intersect with experiences of my fellow Vietnam veterans.
It is important to us, our progeny and our life histories to share those parts of our lives with others. It gives subsequent generations the opportunity to appreciate and understand something other than contemporary life. I’d like to encourage you to write about your lives by telling us about your experience related to these stories. Your response or contribution to the stories on this website might be another way for you to let those you know and love about your personal life journey. If you’d like to contribute, please go to the “CONTACT ME” section under "MORE," and send me a message. All people whose contributions are used in these stories will be listed as a contributor.
