Excellent book! I enjoyed reminiscing about all the old things mentioned..Bullocks, Thomas Guide, Candy stripers and Coronado! Most importantly I enjoyed learning more about Vietnam and all of the people that gave so much.

I felt such a connection to you. My grandma passed away the day after I began this book. I’m also from California and the stories shared I’ve been there. Then the ending brought me full circle with the loss of dear grandma. Thank you for sharing such wonderful memories.
