A Tell of Two Wars

The tale begins during the Vietnam War with Uncle Sam drafting so many very young men into the military right after high school. My main character's only desire is to marry his high school sweetheart and raise a family. Enters the war completely disrupting his life like so many countless other young men. The 1960's offered its own problems with the civil rights movement throughout the south, student protest on college campuses, along with more conflicts happening in the U. S. cities than any other time since the Civil War. The story takes us on a path of uncertainty in lives that become a part of this roller coaster ride through thirty years of a host of personally loves, loss, dramas, tragedies, triumphs, and many life lessons. It tells about every-day people and the impact the times has on their lives, that will unexpectedly follow those involved. It points out the killing or murder of love and innocence. Followed by the birth of violence, death, and destruction that enters into our whole society continuing to this very day.
