Author’s Book to be Published with Veteran’s Campaign for ChangeExcerpt from the book: "How many of us at one time or another have dreamed of time travel? H.G. Wells wrote a famous book, The Time Machine, and Hollywood capitalized on a series of popular movies about time travel in Back to the Future. But how many of us can? I can, because I have a “time machine” of my own in the form of letters that I wrote and sent home from Vietnam to my mother and my sister Ann so long ago. My sister saved all the letters and gave them to me upon my return. Now, some 40 plus years later, I can travel in time to a war and the uncertainty in my life through these letters I wrote in Vietnam. I can revisit my improbable contrasting journey, from a combat-infantry soldier fighting the Viet Cong, to a support soldier, waiting tables and serving the Army Generals. A journey that takes place in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, from living in muddy-foxholes with snakes and insects and eating C-Rations, to working in an air conditioned diner, sipping wine and eating filet mignon." This book is one of many to come from The War Writers’ Campaign - a nonprofit publisher that aims to support veteran and family member programs. 100% of all proceeds, beyond a royalty to the authors, is utilized for transformative transitional programs in areas of mental health and reintegration of our military men and women and their families. John’s book and others published by The Campaign are available for a donation back to the cause online at Amazon.com and through other channels by The War Writers’ Campaign, Inc.
