Congratulations Rocky.
I'm digging back in my memory a ways, but wasn't there a non-fiction book about your tour of duty in the works for you ? Happy for you on your award.

MT Pockets - Yup, there is. But it's a much longer process than I'd envisioned.
That book came out at 300,000 words, which everyone tells me is WAY too long for a first book. I'm trying to cut it down to half that, but trimming it is like selling off some of one's children. I'm looking at publishing the fictional (and shorter) one myself. Stay tuned. In fact, I'm thinking of it so strongly that I will honor no more requests for free copies after this post. (Under advice from a publishing company - to protect my copyright and publishing rights down the road.)

I guess I waited too long. Let know when it's published and where I can get my hands on a copy.

Good goin' Rocky
I'll gladly purchase! Just a little thing I could do to show my gratitude.
Don't know much about that subject other than the books I've read. (Nails or Covey?) At the time I was sailing in circles out the Gulf of Tonkin on a carrier sending zoomies. (phantoms/corsairs/northrups etc) in. If you've read Plaster's SOG or have it goto pages 322-323 Leslie works down the hall from me. Bronze star and all that. Can't remember the designation 0-one or something like that. You guys are to be honored!!!
