Description

U.S. Marine Sergeant Tim Fortner survived 14 months in Vietnam as a door gunner in a CH-46 helicopter. Completing 27 strike flight missions, he was awarded the Air Medal and Bronze Star for meritorious service in combat. Like many veterans, his real battle didn't begin until he returned home, where he struggled to adjust to the "new normal" of American life in 1969, still haunted by his experiences during the nation's most unpopular war. His memoir describes his military training, his unit's harrying missions inserting and extracting troops over landing zones under enemy fire, and his four-decade struggle with service-connected PTSD.

Author Biography:

Tim Fortner served as a Marine in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969 and was awarded the Air Medal for Heroic Achievement in Aerial Flight.

Today he is still working and lives on the northern California coast. Elizabeth Ridley is the author of five novels and four co-written memoirs. She lives in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
