Publisher's Summary
Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s, when the country had a draft and five hundred thousand Americans were serving one year tours in battle-torn South East Asia. If you served in Viet Nam you will want to compare your experience with the author’s. If you know someone who went to Viet Nam, you will want to listen for yourself what it was like. If you lost a loved one or friend in the war, you will want to listen to this and share it with others.

Must read recount of a grunt
This book was an amazing read. What James went through and the others he describes in this detailed recount shows the courage and sacrifice of a generation of forgotten soldiers.

Amazing
The author's journey starts off relatively 'normal' but by the end of his tour his experiences are harrowing. Excellent narration, great book.

The best of many
I enjoyed this narration so much. Being of an age identified with the Vietnam war, I could feel this guy's realism and compassion. I particularly agree with the finale of his final chapter.

The real, normal truth of a soldier in Vietnam
This book isn’t about medals of honor or significant battles, it’s about a marine’s journey from start to finish in training for Vietnam. The author shows fear, disdain, frustration and friendship in a story of tragedy and tribulation. Such a good good book.

So much better than I was expecting
This book was fantastic - I could listen over and over. The story was so genuine and reminded me of my own brief time in the military. The feeling of hurry up and wait combined with constantly being on edge was so real listening to this.
