Faces of the Dead and the Dying: Memories of a Vietnam Combat Medic - Paperback

by Bruce L. Kirby (Author)

This book of memories revealed by a 70 year old Army soldier describes his experiences while serving as a Combat Medical Platoon Leader in Vietnam during the 1970-1971 Vietnam War time-frame. His memories are vivid, especially those depicting the faces of the dead and the dying. Because of the author's deep concern about the impact of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) on returning veterans and the Veterans Administration statistic that reveals 22 of those veterans commit suicide every day in the United States, he has committed to pledging the proceeds made from the sale of this book to selected non-governmental veteran organizations that are devoted to supporting the treatment of those veterans suffering from this condition. If for no other reason, purchase of this book is encouraged to help fund those non-profit non-governmental organizations devoted to helping our neglected or abandoned veterans.
