Wild Gardenias

Red...the color of blood. White...the color of purity. Blue...the color of sadness. And so are the colors of the country's flag. Here today, gone tomorrow. The Soldier. The Marine. The Sailor. Their families. It matters not where the service men and women walk their walk, for in times of war, battles are never won. What about personal turmoil...Personal battles in the lives of our service members? And then we have Vietnam. A "Conflict" it was dubbed. Aye, Aye, Mr. President. Olongapo City, Philippines, a major retreat from the American sailors' battles in the turbulent waters of Vietnam. WILD GARDENIAS will bring new meaning to the term "Liberty Port." What was it in that took place in that far away land that embraced our Seventh Fleet...our husbands? Our sons? Our brothers? This incredible, yet thorn-ridden tapestry of lies and truths will leave you wondering what else went unspoken back in the days of the most controversial war of our time...and beyond.
