Publisher's Summary

Why is this memoir worth listening to? Because 21 Months, 24 Days is a powerful story of a blue-collar kid who, threatened by the draft in the late 60s, ended up an Army grunt in the infantry, endured a grueling war in Vietnam, and returned to a country too angry to care. Though choices he made had led to adversity, he kept his sanity intact through it all by reacting positively and moving forward.

In his own voice, the author delivers his story like a casual conversation from across the kitchen table. It conveys to the listener the experiences of basic training, advanced infantry training, and what it was like to live, work, guard, patrol, and fight in the jungle. Feel the adrenalin rush of a firefight, the thrill of a wild ride dangling below a helicopter, and smile as he describes what happened on his 21st birthday.

Through his words, you will serendipitously live through the author's journey as he experienced it
