Description

Vietnam, June, 1969 and the war was still raging on. Assigned to the 5th Marine Regiment in An Hoa, Quang Nam Province, Bill Petite soon realized the reality of this war. In the year which would follow, he would experience all the horrors of this war and also experience once in a lifetime friendships. These were friendships which he would remember for the rest of his life. He would learn the importance of the dependence on those friends and those who would fight next to him. He would realize the importance of how to listen and learn and later in his tour how to pass that important information on to others. He would discover how easy it was to loose the innocence of his upbringing and become numb to the violence and killing which would surround him. Memories of Vietnam is the true story of Bill Petite's year long tour in Vietnam and what he experienced in that year. It's a story of a young man who, like the many others who were sent there, would return and suffer the after affects of that experience. He would only be eleven days removed from the combat zone and placed back into an everyday society which didn't like this war or those who were forced to participate in it. And, for the most part, that society didn't understand this war and its affects on the young men who served there. But, after walking through Vietnam for a year of his life, he would discover years later he had not been walking alone.
