This is the story of a man who spent most of his life in the service of our country. He faced the possibility of attacking Russian "Bear" bombers during the early years of the "Cold War"...he sat on nuclear alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis facing the very real possibility of WWIII. During the Vietnam war, he flew combat missions in Laos...the "secret war". He was shot down and lived to tell about it. But this is more than another "war story". It's about the life of a man, told in his own words, who is one of the unsung heroes. He tells about the good times...the bad times and all in-between. In his own words: "...so how did I get from a Low Rent Federal Housing Project in Memphis, through the hostile jungles near North Vietnam and then on through life? Hard to believe, but now I call it "Plagued by Good Luck".
