Brown Mule 7 Book Description
"Brown Mule 7 is based on a true story of Army soldiers serving in the 1st Air Division (Air Mobile), 5th Battalion, 7th Cavalry in Vietnam from 1966-1967. It is told through the Vietnam letters of SP4 Leon Toyne a Combat Field Wireman, written ove 50 years ago and not discovered until his passing in 2018. Additional testimonies and stories are from a Combat Medic, Radio Operator, Dental Clinic Medic, and Field Wireman, who served with SP4 Toyne. These individuals were like brothers and developed a bond, relying on each other for their daily survival. They were sent into the deadly Central Highlands of Vietnam on a 'search and destroy' mission to rid the Central Highlands and Eastern Coastal Plains of communist forces. The stories they shared recalled humor, friendship, sadness, and tragedy."--back cover.
