Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband and I just finished reading 'Before Memories Fade' and thoroughly enjoyed the stories ... some very sad but all especially appreciated ... Each author shared some very special memories of war experiences ... One especially enjoyable read was 'Short Timer' by Alan Fuchs. The little puppy found Alan and helped him through the battle ... sad that he had to be left behind upon Alan's return to the states. Each memory shared by the various authors is very personal and special ... Thanks to Lt. Col. Robert W. Michel, U.S. Army Retired for putting it all together ... We need to remember the sacrifices made by so many men and women and those sacrifices are still ongoing. Again, Thank You!

No anthology of the Viet Nam War has ever been written with such emphasis on telling the poignant and revealing personal stories of average soldiers. War makes for strange, sometimes even humorous tales, and while some are quite spiritual in their effect, they still contain realistic and historic accuracy. Lt. Col. Robert W. Michel, U.S. Army Retired, compiled this cast of enlisted men and officers whose experiences span a range from a puppy dog to a former POW and those of a State Senator from Massachusetts. He spent countless hours pouring over these and dozens of other stories until he found what he believed to be an accurate representation of what many soldiers experienced during the Viet Nam War.
