It was 1972 when North Invaded... ...200 tanks and three divisions advanced across the border With peace hanging in the balance-the impossible happened... When a Major in the US Marines chose to make a stand. He summoned the courage from within and rallied the South and through force of will, American Airpower, and a desire to live. He pulled off the impossible and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The Battle of Quang Tri documents the Easter Offensive of 1972... ...A pivotal battle in the final years of the Vietnam war. With minimal US Forces remaining in Vietnam. The task of stopping the invasion fell to the shoulders of a handful of military advisors and aviation crews who had to rally their Vietnamese counterparts to stop an invasion, or the war would be lost. Read about the incredible actions and stories of this untold battle and learn how a few tough Marines and some Army advisors made the difference between victory-and defeat.
Autorenporträt
Born into a Navy Submarine Family, I traveled the world as a child. Since I was born in 1947 and until 1993, every three years I moved to a new location as a military brat and as a service member. Enlisted in the Army in 1968 after two worthless years of college and became an Army helicopter pilot serving for 18 months in Vietnam. Was promoted to a commissioned officer while serving in Vietnam and stayed on active duty until 1993. In that time I commanded rifle companies at Fort Lewis Washington and Anchorage Alaska where I commanded an airborne company. Highlight of my career was commanding an air assault infantry battalion during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The Army sent me back to college to finish my bachelors degree and later working on my own, two master degrees. Once I retired I went into private business and finally retired in 2015. My wife has been with me for 51 years now and I have two sons, both Army officers who rose up through the ranks like their grandfather and me.
