This autobiographical account describes funny moments and some quite hilarious, but also has highly poignant and sad memories. They include the moment when a private soldier fainted three times in a row: before, during, and after his first vaccination; the hand-grenade class intended to wake up zombies; the story of the vagabond knife; actions of two of the three conscientious objectors in my outfit; the soldier that confused two lovely Chevrolet Corvette automobiles and drove away with the one belonging to the company commander; the private that smashed 5-gallon water cans instead of the large coffee cans he was supposed to crush. It also includes unfortunate moments of fear, of hearing three bullets flying over my head; to the horrible occasion when a comrade and I had to pick up the bodies of two American soldiers killed in action during the Tet Offensive. The account also includes the strange event that occurred throughout a memorial ceremony we held for forty-one fallen comrades. In the course of the ceremony, a dust devil formed and traversed the football field where we were formed. We interpreted it as a farewell message from our fallen friends. This was my stint in the United States Army during the time of the Vietnam War and of the Tet Offensive, a time when I saw death working overtime. It all started at the train station of Harvey, Illinois, on May 30, 1967 and ended in Fort Gordon, Georgia on May 29, 1969. It is real and it is true.
About fifteen years ago, I found my new home. When I walked into this condo for the first time, I sensed that I had found my own writing studio. A few days later, the story line for the entire series of seven volumes of space adventures came to me. This changed my life completely and quite unexpectedly. At present, 2022, the seven volumes are finished, including their translations into Spanish and their illustrations.
That particular series is full of adventures and intended for children eight years of age or older, adolescents, young adults and those who dare to dream about space travel with the purpose of creating a new civilization.
I need to request a favor of you: "Please, help the animals." Do whatever you can for them, thank you.
