"Weapons of War" has given me the opportunity to tell my Vietnam story and how it affected me, my fiancée, and my family. It will give my family a written record of my service to my country. And to thank the United States Army for its role in shaping my character and developing me into a responsible leader ready and equipped to take on any challenge or mission. In other words, helping me to "be all that I can be". And to finally tell my story of how the Army took a "Raw Recruit" and turned him into a trained Combat Soldier and proven Leader.
