Memoirs

"Vietnam Saga" is a very personal story of Stan Corvin’s often perilous times in the U.S. Army as a two tour combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam. It’s a true-life story of soldiers who fought for freedom and often for their very lives. "Vietnam Saga" is also a story about the meaning of life. Standing back from his war experience, Stan reflects on his ever-present faith and how it carried him through this challenging period of his life. Originally written as a legacy to Stan Corvin’s family—something that will be passed down for many generations—"Vietnam Saga" is now an opportunity for you to share in this legacy and the personal recollections, memories, thoughts, fears and shed tears of a decorated and dedicated American soldier.

Vietnam Saga: Exploits of a Combat Helicopter Pilot

"Echoes of the Hunt", written by Stan Corvin, Jr., is the true story of a deer hunt he was on a few years ago in West Texas. Arriving at the ranch, he learned the owner who invited him had the flu and was not going to participate in the hunting of a massive atypical mule deer named “El Viejo.” For the next ten days, Stan hunted alone for the trophy buck. Interwoven with this adventure, he tells of hunting experiences as a young boy, then later as a teenager with his father, grandfather, and uncle. Many of these memories are recalled in the evening while he is sitting in a creaking rocking chair in front of a blazing fireplace while drinking his favorite beverage. A lifelong hunter, Stan has shot dove in Argentina, quail in Baja California, elk in New Mexico, mule deer in Colorado and feral hogs in Texas. As a two-tour helicopter pilot serving in Vietnam in 1968 and 1971, he also hunted NVA and Vietcong enemy soldiers. That memoir is told in his third book, "Vietnam Saga: Exploits of a Combat Helicopter Pilot" published in 2017.

Attacked at Home!: A Green Beret's Survival Story of the Fort Hood Shooting

Attacked at Home: A Green Beret's Survival Story of the Fort Hood Shooting is the amazing story about 2nd Lt. John M. Arroyo, Jr., who, on April 2, 2014, was shot in the throat and neck by another soldier who then went on to kill four soldiers, including himself, and wound sixteen others. Attacked at Home is also about John's life beginning with his childhood in Southern California, including his time spent as a tattooed member of a violent street gang, a hopeless teenage drug addict and then his enlistment in the U.S. Army where he ultimately becomes a Special Forces Green Beret and highly decorated officer after serving two tours of duty in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. The book also tells how he uses his Christian faith to protect himself and his fellow Special Forces "Operators" while deployed to the Middle East and then relies on it to recover from the massive wounds he sustained after being shot at Fort Hood, Texas.
