If you want to uncover more about some of the Vietnam War's most courageous American heroes, then keep on reading... Not many historic events have had such a strong impact on the way we see and live our nation's values as the Vietnam War. Entering the conflict to defend democracy and fight against the communists, countless Americans departed towards the unknown in the mid-60s. One of these units of brave men was the 173rd Airborne Brigade, better known as the "Sky Soldiers," or simply as "the Herd." During their six years in Vietnam, the Sky Soldiers fought relentlessly against the communist forces. From their early involvement in War Zone D operations, to the Battle of Dak To, this book pays tribute to their valiant efforts in the bid to prevent the collapse of democracy in Vietnam. Thank them for their service.

What they hadn’t counted on was some G.I.s out for revenge against the Vietnamese...any Vietnamese. And having barely survived that encounter, an injured ‘Journal’ is sent back to the United States to recover and he discovers another type of war going on there as he sees firsthand the protests at home.
