Our Vietnam Wars
Our Vietnam Wars is one of the most important books ever written. It differs from other war books in that it is personal. It is not an analysis by experts, politicians, or those who only read about the War in books. William F. Brown has combined personal stories of 100 veterans who served in Vietnam. Written in article format, this book gives an in-depth understanding of what happened during this time. It offers those who went to this War a platform to air their views, tell their stories, and let the world know what it felt to be involved in a war that changed lives and left many fighting battles many know nothing about.

Between the late 1950s and 1975, the Vietnam veterans served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. Aside from those at the forefront, there are those who served as repairmen, nurses, doctors, jet pilots, and truck drivers, to mention but a few. These veterans were black, Hispanic, and white. They were both male and female, and most of them were either in their teens or early twenties. Some of the veterans highlighted in this book were true heroes who have been recognized for their bravery and the role they played during this War. Others were only trying to survive so they could get back to their families.

This collection applauds those who paid the ultimate price in this War. The unfortunate thing is that the War did not stop for these men and women when they left the war field. They came home to protestors who welcomed them with disrespect. They struggled with PTSD, Agent Orange, heart disease, and diabetes behind closed doors, among other conditions. This book serves as a reminder that their kin’s sacrifices were not in vain for the veterans’ descendants. The surviving veterans can see that their stories matter, and for anyone looking at everything from a stereotypical view, this book is an eye-opener. The veterans and their families have continued to fight unknown battles, while the Vietnam conflict talks and thoughts have been long buried.

Our Vietnam Wars is an informative and interesting account of veteran stories. The stories are mostly in the first person, as told by the veterans. William F. Brown goes further to detail each veteran’s life before going to War, what role they played, and their experiences after the war was over. Sadly, so many met such senseless deaths in the War. Those who survived didn’t have it easy either. Society judged them harshly, and most of the time, they were expected to shut up and pretend that the war did not happen. For all of us, this book serves as a lesson. We should be thankful for those who gave up their all for this country.
