A college dropout who was drafted to serve his country, Doug Warden was barely 20 years old when he arrived in Vietnam in 1967 as a private first class. He was 'green as a gourd' in the ways of warfare, but he stayed alive, listened and learned from his platoon leader and became a capable leader. He was first a rifleman, then a few days later, a Radio Telephone Operator for his platoon leader and then for his company commander. He gave up the relative safety of serving in the company command post to return to his platoon. He became a squad leader, platoon sergeant, and platoon leader in a remarkable short period of time. He would return to the states a staff sergeant with 5 months time in grade. Along the way, Doug became one of the most decorated soldiers in the 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry. He was awarded two Silver Stars for gallantry in action, the Bronze Star for Heroism, the Soldier's Medal, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, three Purple Hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and the Valorous Unit Award for his service in Vietnam. In addition, he earned the Combat Infantry Badge and the Parachutist Badge.

Sergeant Rock evolves from a native, baseball-playing, church-going Christian and skinny college kid to a well-trained killing machine in Vietnam. Leaving California to take part in the Tet Offensive in 1968, he finds the culture shock between the two overwhelming. Thrust into war and killing, he finds his approach to life and death must change quickly, but he holds fast to his beliefs. Though he saves others, his attitude toward killing and death changes for the worse, while his approach toward life improves. Sergeant Rock is a much better person for the choices he makes. In the course of a single Tet Offensive battle, his company loses all but 13 men, as 126 soldiers die in two hours. His faith increases when he meets his guardian angel during the battle. Sergeant Rock pushes his squad to their limits because he knows that death may lie just beyond the next bush. He may be only 20, but he thinks like an old veteran. With the body count in his mind, he wonders if he can ever be around normal people again. He experiences many horrors and watches friend after friend die as heroes. The hardships his squad must face, such as going without fresh water or clothes for 57 days, being shot down in a chopper, and just trying to stay alive are overwhelming. How much can our minds take before they crack? Sergeant Rock believes divine intervention is the only reason he is alive to tell his story.

SYNOPSISSERGEANT ROCK evolved from a na�ve, morally good, Christian, church going, baseball playing, skinny little college kid to a hardcore well-trained killing machine in Vietnam. From California to the Tet Offensive of 1968, the cultural shock is overwhelming! He is thrust into war and killing. He finds that his approach to life and death has to be changed quickly. Sgt. Rock is pressured to change his values but he holds fast to his beliefs. He, at times, does things uncharacteristically to save others. Sgt. Rock's attitude toward killing and death changes for the worst, but his approach toward life improves. Sgt. Rock is a much better person for the choices he makes.In the course of a single Tet Offensive battle, Sergeant Rock's company loses all but thirteen men in just two hours. His faith increases when he actually meets his guardian angel amidst a desperate battle. He knows he needs help for he cannot save everyone by himself.Sergeant Rock quickly learns that just staying alive comes at a premium price. It takes a quantum amount of deaths to save a few. His responsibilities go from taking care of only himself, to being responsible for the lives of his men, and the deaths of hundreds of his enemy. Sergeant Rock knows whom he can depend on to save lives. He knows which men to watch because if they don't adhere to his directions they, or someone else, will die.He pushes his squad and his friends to their limits, because he knows that death for all may be just past the next bush. He may be only twenty but he thinks like a forty-year-old veteran. The body count soon is shoved so deep in his mind he wonders if he can ever be around normal people again.Sergeant Rock experiences many horrors, such as watching a head being cut off from a VC. He watches friend after friend die as heroes. He is challenged with decisions about what's right and what's wrong. He quickly sees that not all things are black and white.Friendly fire for sleeping on guard duty wounds a man in Sergeant Rock's squad. This is another dilemma he has to figure out. In every company there are comedians, killers, liars and heroes. Mike Rydser makes plenty of jokes and makes everyone laugh. He also cuts off a head of a VC. Sgt. Rock believes that Mike Rydser holds a wounded, captured VC under water until he dies then unties the VC from the stretcher. The VC is floating down the river. Mike Rydser's comment was, "He tried to escape Sarge!" Chuck Lewis is Sergeant Rock's best friend and right hand man. They are from the same area in California. Chuck and the Sergeant fight side by side. Emerald is afraid of everything. Sergeant Rock teaches him to kill or be killed at the DMZ, by leaving him by himself to defend a position. The hardships his squad must face, such as going without fresh water or clothes for fifty-seven days, being shot down several times in a chopper, and just trying to stay alive is overwhelming. Sergeant Rock and his company fight the VCs and NVAs all the way north to the DMZ, losing men and being mentally strained as they traveled. How much can our minds take before they crack? Sergeant Rock believes that it is only through divine intervention that he is alive to tell his story.
