DESCRIPTION:
Weid Studio/ Bill Weidenbacher said SAme Company Same Time. Met Tom Evans for the first time at a barbecue at the Ridgefield,Ct Marine Corps League. He was alone and I decided to sit with him. He told me of finding our company gunnery sgt.Since then I have followed some of his writings and must say he has a unique style and a story to tell. It is written well and factually. We were there together on some of the ops but he was on the other side of the perimeter. I did not know him in Vietnam, but did know some of his men.The facts sometimes are scrambled, but his feelings are not, and they are not unique to him. He writes of the taboo subject PTSDand gives a good accounting of it. Warriors from the beg. "A moving account" according to A Customer. This book presents a candid and moving account of the author's experiences as a Marine in Viet Nam during the war. The author tells about his adjustment to civilian life after leaving the service and his difficult times dealing with the negative reactions of those who were against the war. But as the years pass, he goes from feeling he has to minimize or even omit mention of his service on resumes and job applications, to becoming a writer with many published articles about his Viet Nam experiences. Highly recommended.
Home From The War gives a voice to Vietnam veterans. He explains the fear of fathering a child when he thought he might have been exposed to Agent Orange. He tells how he felt walking down the hallways of the Colt Firearms Company, knowing it produced a defective rifle that killed several Marines in his battalion. He describes a two decade split with a friend who opposed the war. When he returned home he wanted to put the war behind him and make something of himself. Evans was promoted to sergeant as a 19yearold infantryman and put in charge of a 15man mortar section. He describes the depression which first began when the My Laistory broke and eventually put him in the hospital. And he writes of the letters his newspaper articles elicited from the loved ones of Marines killed years earlier. Just before his tour ended a mortar accident killed a Marine and dashed Evans' hopes of making the Marine Corps his career. Thomas P. In 1967 Thomas P.
