M.P., A Novel of Vietnam
|
|
|
|
BY John R. Schembra

|
|
|
|
M.P. is a work of fiction based in part on the author's personal experiences as a Military Policeman in Vietnam in 1970. It is a hard-hitting and gritty story of a young M.P. caught up in the quagmire that was Vietnam, and gives the reader a realistic view into what it was like to be an M.P. during the war. It is the story of how he survived that year, of the friendships he found, and the sorrow of lives lost.

The experience chronicles memories of my time in Fort Ord, Monterey CA after revisiting it 35+ years later. It was a ghostown. At turns amusing, humorous and heartbreaking the narritive is enhanced by color portraits of soldiers and the fort in its final days of disrepair.

The Forgotten Veterans A personal account of a recreation therapist.

The stories in the book are true. The actual names have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals.

If you are a Vet, a friend or relative, a medic, nurse, shrink, or on active duty fighting the lastest crud-balls, drop your rucksack,grab a drink, and hang onto your humping tackle. You're in for a ride. Reading Digger, Dogface, Brownjob, Grunt is an industrial-grade cure for combat mania, circa. 1967 Vietnam. You will find yourself in this book, slogging in and out of the vines, laughing, then crying. Combat humor... black and irreverent. Twelve-month men lying and joking even when the truth made a better story.

Entrusted with the well being of his late best friend's daughter, Laura, former C.I.A. operative Jim Marshall had kept his promise well beyond what was expected of him. Now an accomplished young woman, Lt. Laura Armitage is an unlikely candidate to an elite US Navy unit. A tragedy shadowing her days, she fights her way through discrimination and the cover-ups of the Iran-contras scandal. Struggling to assess her allegiance to the flag, she stands her ground through every mission aware her tenacity may not be enough to earn her respect, including that of her jaded commanding officer, Lt. T.J. Wilkins. Beyond Those Hills: an Officer and a Lady depicts three lives intertwined by love, death, lust and a sense of duty that rises above politicians' corruption. It is a compelling tale of redemption woven into the private battles of a female warrior.

This is a true story of an USAF enlisted mans personal account of the Vietnam war that he was a part of. It is riddled with the authors dry sense of humor throughout. Later on he travels up north to work on the worlds biggest construction project at that time, the Trans Alaska Pipeline. There he is tagged with the nickname 'snake'. He later moves on to Korea where he encounters lepers at a leper colony he was invited to. The story has a spiritual twist.
