Description
Roland Kidder is a Navy Vietnam War veteran and served as a Patrol Officer with River Division 535 in the Mekong Delta, 1969-70. In this book, he tells his story of revisiting Vietnam forty years later, and tracking down the families of three servicemen, his friends and fellow combatants, who had been killed. Their names, Eldon Tozer, Bob Olson and Jim Rost, are engraved on the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. His story ..."is a poignant reminder of the continuing grief and pride extant amongst many and is a fitting memorial to the Army and Riverine heroes and an honor to those who mourn them."
