Brown Water Red Blood: A Sailor's Memories of his Tour of Duty with TF-117 in the Mekong Delta, Republic of Vietnam
€ 0,87
It has been 37 years and I still cannot forget. Even more interesting is why I find it difficult to adequately put these thoughts and emotions on paper. I have tried more than once, but the words do not do justice to how I feel. Is it because I am trying to forget or trying not to remember?
Three short stories, approx. 10,000 words, tell of the author's experiences as a member of the Brown Water Navy, Mobile Riverine Force, in the Mekong Delta Region of the Republic of Vietnam in 1968.
- "Will I Finally Find Some Peace?" - Reflects upon the many memories of the author's tour of duty.
- "Brothers in Blood" - During a firefight with the Viet Cong, the situation becomes worse when a Tango boat takes a B40 rocket hit.
- "No Two Minute Warning" - The sinking of a support ship by a Viet Cong 'sapper' brings the reality of war even closer. Two minutes can change a life forever,
Plus background information on the Mobile Riverine Force.
