Distant War: Recollections of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, will be the vehicle to the readers' understanding of a war and its aftermath that may seem distant now, but what is important is that it will make readers realize-if they haven't already-that in war, whether in the jungles of Vietnam or the sands of Iraq, in a very real sense, while who wins and who loses is obviously important, what is equally necessary is that good somehow must and shall prevail. Here are 31 stories about those who were there then and what their lives have become now-for the world to know what they suffered, how most survived, and how they overcame adversity. See the Contents listing in the preview for the people included, such as Pat Sajak, Jim Stockdale, Oliver Stone and Nick Ut. 67 photos.

The Legend of Dust Off, America's Battlefield Angels. Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought in which the American soldier enhanced their heroism with humanitarianism unmatched in warfare. Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam. Spearheading the humanitarian effort was Dust Off, the most dangerous of all aviation activities and the most amazing battlefield life saver in the history of warfare. This is the story of the father of Dust Off, Charles Kelly, who died to save Dust Off. His dying words, "When I have your wounded", set the standard for aero medical evacuation to this day. It is also the story of Kelly's disciples who struggled and died to meet his standard. One unit, the 54th, did. The author, Gen. Brady, learned from Kelly and led the 54th as it rescued over 21,000 wounded-enemy and friendly-in 10 months; while sustaining 26 Purple Hearts. It is also the story of faith in combat and the miracles it produces. 39 photos.
