Vernon E. Brewer II is a multiple Purple Heart recipient who was medivacked from Vietnam in 1969. He spent seven months in Ft Devon’s Army Hospital recovering from a booby trap wound to his left thigh.
In 1981 his first draft of this book won the State University of New York’s Writer’s Forum Scholarship and was accepted for publication by the first publisher he submitted the book to, selling out two printings with little or no advertising except word of mouth.
His poetry has been published by Old Dominion and his intro to his web page was featured by AOL on its news site after Brewer allowed a fellow Vietnam Vet to use it on another web page.
Brewer, an Avid Sky Diver and motorcyclist, in 1981 sky dived the lower 48 to bring media attention to the dangers of Agent Orange. He was invited to write his story by The Stars and Stripes, with a lead on the front page & the entire centerfold.
Brewer recently traveled 14 thousand miles visiting the graves of all those paratroopers who served with him and were killed in action during his tour with Alpha company, 4th Battalion of the 173d Airborne Brigade.
Brewer donated all his royalties from this books first printing to The National Veteran’s Foundation; and a portion of the proceeds from the second printing to the Sky Soldier’s memorial. 50% of Brewer’s royalties from the E-book will go to the Sky Soldier’s memorial in Ft Benning, Georgia.
He currently resides in an A frame tucked way back into the Finger Lakes National Forest in Upstate, New York

Author Vernon E. Brewer II and friend Barfield , Vietnam March 23, 1969
“ALL GAVE SOME … SOME GAVE ALL.”
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran.
For the first time in our history America sent it’s young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
This site is dedicated to those brave men and women, living and dead, who did their duty to the fullest in war of attrition we were not ALLOWED to win. We never ran, never abandoned our wounded, never stopped loving America even when America abandoned us … and still abandons our POW/MIA’s.
