September and October Events

September 23, 7-8

Discussion and signing with Richard V. Vnuk

From the back cover....

Although many young Americans are highly trained to be skilled soldiers, they have little or no training in dealing with the realities of combat.

They have not been trained to deal with the consequences of war, namely psychological injuries, deaths of close friends, and the betrayal of what is morally right.

His (Vnuk's) youth was cut short when he was drafted to fight in Viet Nam. While training for war he made an agonizing decision to go AWOL because his conscience was telling him that something was wrong. Rather than dishonoring his parents he returned to the Army and in 1967 became a reluctant warrior.

He returned ... in 2007 as a volunteer teacher and made peace with Viet Nam.
