On July 4, 1987 the definitive Welcome Home events for the Vietnam veterans took place in Washington DC, aired on HBO, and included a vast number of celebrities/musical entertainers in a 5-hour+ extravaganza that Congress declared as the official Welcome Home day for the vets. The event raised consciousness about vet issues and also millions of dollars for vet causes through the associated 501(c)(3) foundation, Welcome Home, Inc. As benefit concerts go, wrote the New York Post, 'Welcome Home' was a more unified and successful event, in terms of both its music and its message, than such well-intentioned spiritual brethren as 'Live Aid' and 'Farm Aid'. Beyond The Wall covers the origins and making of the events, while capturing the essence of the Baby Boom generation and the history that marked their lives. Since my mother was the Welcome Home founder and exec producer, this work is also a very personal family tale and labor of love.

Welcome Home: The Army and My Vietnam, is a series of documentary-style stories of a Veteran's experiences in the Army both stateside and during his combat tour in Vietnam. From boot camp to his return home and living with the aftermath of his experiences, this is a very personal perspective on the Army, the war and our society as seen through the eyes of a soldier. Welcome Home offers an historically accurate account from someone who served during a time when our country did not support our Veterans or appreciate their service. Most of these stories have never been told. Bits and pieces now and then have been shared with family and friends but never entirely and never in detail. The author's two years in the Army shaped the rest of his life and he decided to share his experiences for other Veterans who have never told their stories. This book was written for them, his family, friends and for himself.The book's message is one of hope. It is never too late no matter how long it has been, or how difficult the road, there is always hope. Every individual needs to take the necessary steps to change and make things better for themselves. Fortunately, there is a myriad of resources available today for Veterans of all conflicts. Society is now supportive and our government is providing improved care at all levels for our Veterans as are many private organizations. Personal note from the author: I encourage all Vietnam Veterans to write about their experiences. Those days and times are part of our lives and should not be forgotten. Unfortunately, many of us are dying without sharing these stories. My hope is that any Veteran who reads this book would be inspired to write about his or her own stories for their families, future generations and themselves. The exercise brings clarity and closure to that chapter of our lives.

Death is often welcome for soldiers who returned from Vietnam because it appears to be the only means of peace within. Knowing that each day could, and in all probability, will be his last, the soldier's thought process becomes distorted and his animalistic instincts take over and allow for total abandonment of inhibitions. These soldiers answered the nation's call and they paid the price for the freedoms we as a nation hold dear. They are also the ones who continue to pay the price for the combat experience and that part of us that died in country. These men suffer from PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and this is their story.

I served as an Army trauma surgeon at the 85th Evacuation Hospital, Phu Bai, Vietnam, '70-'71. Into our emergency room were intermittently deposited the wounded, some greviously others not, by the dare- devil Dust Off medieval pilots who risked imminent death with each mission. We routinely witnessed the devistation of war on body, mind and soul. The corpsmen, technicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and surgeons explored every known and out-of-the- box technique to salvage life and limb. If the wounded arrived alive at the 85th, he had a 95% chance of survival. It was and still is that 5% whose injuries were so severe or whose blood loss could not be stemmed that haunt us today. That's PTS. By storytelling for fifty years since returning to the US in late August 1971, I have avoided the (D) and mollified my demons. The intense emotions during my traumatic experience have softened greatly but, I am back in Vietnam on a daily basis. In 2015 I compiled my stories into Welcome Home From Vietnam, Finally, A Vietnam Trauma Surgeon's Memoir. It is gripping, honest, real-life and disturbing. Then we realize that the 58,000+ lives lost did not change a thing. No dominos fell and Vietnam is now our close trading partner. They have been gratious victors. I've lived, studied and researched PTS(D). I now understand that when we were "partying" with booze and weed, we were actually self-medicating to numb recognition of the demons. That process continues today as there exists an epidemic of active duty military and veteran PTS(D), substance abuse ane suicide. I address these issues in this book's appendices but have more current information on the book's web site. Our nation must shift their concentration from treating PTS(D) as a developed disorder and initiate the PREVENTIVE approach I propose PRIOR to discharge. If prevention by vaccination is the answer to Covid-19 why not apply the same principle to PTS(D)?

Intense, powerful, and compelling, Matterhorn is an epic war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead and James Jones’s The Thin Red Line. It is the timeless story of a young Marine lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight their way into manhood. Standing in their way are not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out, are the obstacles they discover between each other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and duplicitous superior officers. But when the company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of combat. The experience will change them forever. Written by a highly decorated Marine veteran over the course of thirty years, Matterhorn is a spellbinding and unforgettable novel that brings to life an entire world—both its horrors and its thrills—and seems destined to become a classic of combat literature.

"Welcome Home : a monument of honor" is must-read, unique book written and produced as the historical American legacy dedicated to the honor, the dignity and humanity of Vietnam veterans. It is produced as an elegant, coffee-table style volume. Ross Lewis, Army veteran and author, traveled 20,000 miles, through fourteen states between 2010 and 2013 to personally visit and interview Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force Vietnam veterans (men and women) to collect their precious stories and brilliant non-combat photographs of Vietnam. The powerful biographies include veterans who served in Vietnam from early 1954 through the evacuation of Saigon, twenty-one ears later in April, 1975. The collection of brilliant photographs, taken by the veterans, are non-paralleled in the history of Vietnam books. The personal stories include: Early American advisor's between 1957 through 1964; sailors aboard the USS Maddox in the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. A marine medal of honor recipient who later became a three-star general; an Air Force chaplain who speaks about his own personal service and struggles; two West Point graduates who served in 1964 and 1966; a Marine Forward Observer who endured the siege of the Khe Sahn; a brown water naval officer who served in the Mekong Delta and, later, rose to the rank of four-star admiral,; and Air Force Special Commando who operated within a "team of twenty", the last Marine to "pull colors" during the evacuation of civilians and military personnel from the embattled city of Saigon. "Welcome Home : a Monument of Honor" is also a perfect gift to Vietnam veterans and their families. It serves as an American tribute to Vietnam veterans-- Taken from Amazon.com July 28, 2014.
