Vietnam Rod Boltjes

Over 50 Vietnam Veterans from the small town of Platte, South Dakota, have shared their experiences for this book. This is a brief account of the war, and the survivor's thoughts on it today. Nineteen have passed, but the families have shared information available on their veteran's service. All branches of the military are represented along with the many varied jobs required for the war effort. This is an attempt to record our thoughts for our children, grandchildren and other family and friends who may be interested. We never talked about Vietnam very much. This is an effort to be more forthcoming.
