Episode 20
In 1968 Don Yost found himself in Vietnam as a rifleman. He was planning a career as a writer and thought the Army would send him to Germany as an officer. After being wounded he applied to be an Army Combat Reporter.
His devotion to duty is inspiring. He notes that almost everyone has a Vietnam in their life. We all need to help those with empathy and compassion.
I suggest you buy his books. His book, Henry, is a sequel to Red Badge of Courage. Blessings Transforming My Vietnam Experience is a book you should read. Don Yost is a great writer and thinker!
