The stories told in this book reflect the loneliness, homesickness, fear and sacrifice of soldiers serving their country in one of the darkest periods of our history. These are the stories told by the Veteran, their spouses and children and contain deep-seated emotions that have been kept hidden from view for many years that is until now...Book Website: www.NeverForgottenTheVietnamVeteran.com

These books have changed Jenny in a profound and totally unexpected way. She believes they will change you too. It has become her passion and life journey to feature and honor our Veteran's service.
