Description
by Richard T. García (Author)
"Richard T. García has written an eloquent, courageous, and heartfelt book on the challenging and debilitating effects of post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), from having served two tours of duty in the Vietnam War. García details the challenges on his road to recovery,
and discusses the intergenerational and familial struggles of many Chicano and working-class veterans who fought for their country."
-CHARLEY TRUJILLO, AUTHOR OF SOLDADOS IN VIETNAM
"I met Rich late summer of 1969; he was a Sgt. with previous combat experience, and the rest of us were all volunteers. Rich's story is
spellbinding. Recounting his childhood to the present, he reflects on his life as a Latino in the United States of America. His love of family
and his heritage are a constant focal point. I'm proud to say I served alongside him."
-SGT. ED COOK, SQUAD LEADER,11TH CAV AERO RIFLE PLATOON 1969-1970
"In his memoir, García deepens our understanding about those who served in the Vietnam War. Garcia shares the reoccurring memories,
nightmares, and hallucinations, as he speaks about the knowledge he carries that allows us to understand the plight of those who
served. His musical abilities aid his recovery in post-Vietnam days through Chicano political action, church ministry, and professional
performances, as he mentors and nurtures that gift to his daughters. García writes about his life in East San José, California, intimately
invested in a strong family life. Through his journey, we learn about the ways Richard T. García deals with life and his spiritual growth."
