Omschrijving

The Vietnam War divided a nation, but forever defined a generation of young men who put their lives on the line in the steaming hot, insect-infested, deadly jungles of a country the grunts ironically referred to as "The Flower Land". A Walk Through the Valley of Death, tells the heartfelt, compelling, but often harrowing story of one such young man. In 1968, this sports-loving, All-American kid from a strong, working-class family, made a decision that would change his life forever. He joined the Army, leaving the comforts of the Bay Area for the jungles of Nam. This soldier's journey found him in pulse-pounding brushes with death in night ambushes, firefights, walking point and crawling after the enemy in pitch black tunnels armed only with a flashlight and a .45 caliber pistol. As a squad leader, his tour of duty also became a soul-searching journey as he experienced personal loss and began to question the meaning and purpose of the war. A Walk Through the Valley of Death follows this soldier's journey after the war, as he deals with the unhealed wounds he came home with: PTSD, as well as the chronic ill-effects of exposure to Agent Orange. But, it's also the story of one soldier's ultimate triumph in his long battle to build a monument to honor his fallen brothers-in-arms. A Walk Through the Valley of Death is an unforgettable journey that will remind you why we honor those who serve in the US military.
