If you happen to look at careyrowland.com now, the two text selections from King of Soul cover US statesside events in 1969 and ’70. However, the novel contains also scenes from battles in Vietnam. A Memorial Day entry on my blog, https://careyrowland.wordpress.com/2020/05/24/their-last-full-measure-in-vietnam/ , covers a scene about the Lost Platoon at Ia Drang, 1965.
If you are interested, I will send you a book. Or, if you would like to share your experience with this writer — me, perhaps we could chat on phone or facetime. I would like to hear about your Vietnam experience, starting with where were you stationed in Vietnam?
