This is the story about the life of a 19-year-old boy that wanted to see the world...but he didn't want to leave his mom! Was he a whimp? By no means! He loved adventure, but he loved his mom as well and wanted to protect her.
Follow Larry every step of the way; from a go-no-where job in a small town in Texas to the jungles of Viet Nam and everything in between. Through it all, his mom was on his mind.
Here is an exerpt from my story:
"I could hear gunfire on the other side of the compound. My hand was sweating and shaking. I don’t know if I can do this. The sergeant showed up, “Ok. Zappers at the wire. They will be testing our strength so stay alert. Remember, pick your target and don’t go crazy.” Shortly, a couple of VC’s tried to blow a hole in the wire, but before I could shoot, the 50 cal machine gun opened up and took care of that. We relaxed a little. I have been on lots of patrols but nothing like this. The hardest part is just sitting here and waiting; nerve-wracking! I knew the hard part was yet to come. I hate that creepy feeling that something was about to go wrong."
