"This is a story about, writing a story about, a Vietnam Veteran and hisCongressional Medal of Honor and how he did not view himself as a hero. Then how it took 40 years for the 3 friends he saved to Thank hin for saving their lives. There is so much in this nook book of only 234 pages, but I don't want to tell too much of the story to say I spoiled it.. IT is a very good book, filled with good feelings and bad but ends with tears and smiles.. I will read more by this author.."
