The man behind the book is a true friend to the Vietnam Vets. He invested his time and money to produce such a book about us. I consider Phil a true friend, someone I know us vets can talk to anytime anywhere. It is a honor and privilege to know Phil. The book will be a legacy for my family to have for many years to come.
Thank you
John P(Vietnam 1967-68)

My husband seervd in the Army infantry in Viet Nam, 1968-1970. He has recently been experiencing some unexpected medical problems; tinitus in ears and now sinus or nasal cancer. Because of this he has been working with VA to get medical benefits and we began to discover information on birth defects of Viet Nam veteran’s children.All 3 of our children were born with skeletal deformities and connective tissue disorders. Their rib cages grew inward crowding their hearts and restricting lung capacity which made surgery necessary. Our son also had a spinal defect; there was a congenital birth defect in the L4 vertebrae which did not fuse together properly and continued to slip until he required major surgery when he was 15 years old. This has left him partially disabled and unable to do many normal activities because of pain.
