About this listen

Vic Edwards, an Ohio farm boy and college dropout, was seven years older than the average marine in Vietnam. About to be drafted, he joined the navy, went to Hospital Corps School, and was later assign to the marine corps. Destination Vietnam.

Though the cause seemed noble at the time, he was hardly prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Leaving the nurturing support of family and community, he would face physical, moral, and spiritual challenges never before experienced. Where there are soldiers, vices follow. Confronted with such temptations in seemingly secure areas, he was confronted with trepidation to do as taught and trained, or to give up and give in to the new situation. His spirit reminded him to be faithful to his family and community and to the creed of the corps, "Semper Fidelis"--always faithful to God, country, and marine corps.

Vic Edwards takes you with him through the crucible of the Vietnam War as he faces the challenges of battle, the mental and emotional roller coaster of grief and loss, and the spiritual struggles with God’s claim on his life. He shares with you the humor and pathos of young men sent to a foreign land to bring stability and peace while his own country is rocked with riot and turmoil.

I was serving in church one Sunday with an Elder named Bill Lane, a radiomen who served in Vietnam; I mentioned I was a Combat Medic in the War in Iraq and he recommended this book. My friend Bill served with Doc Edwards and the rest of the men in the book. As a Christ Follower and a veteran this book really is amazing. Doc Edwards faith in god to overcome fear and constant trust in the Lord to get him through the hell of Combat is evident in this sharing of his experience. It’s also narrated perfectly on Audible, give it a listen and you will gain perspective on life and respect for these men.
