Growing Up In Vietnam Lessons in Life Learned From The Vietnam War eBook Thomas Vogel
I purchased this book because it was written by a member of the exact same unit that I was in in Vietnam, Kilo 3/7, 2nd Platoon. I was there in 1967 and left after being wounded just months before Dr. Vogel arrived in country. Reading his memoir was like reliving my own tour and conjured up new memories, it was like he was telling my own story. I spent many days at the Liberty Bridge, On Hill 10, 37, 41 &55. I would recommend this for anyone interested in knowing more about the war in Vietnam. I knew almost every name on the list of Marines killed in action in 67 listed in the book.I also served under Capt. Fegan, the authors mentor. Well done Dr. Vogel.Product details

Growing Up In Vietnam Lessons in Life Learned From The Vietnam War eBook Thomas Vogel Reviews
This book has special meaning to me as it was authored by my brother. I was 17 when he left for Vietnam and was I totally engrossed in being a teenager in the 70's, not realizing what horrors he was put through. I would read his letters but never once thought he wouldn't come home to tell his stories. Now that I am an adult and a parent, I can fully appreciate what he and my parents must have gone through. I had a hard time putting it down, mainly because of the intensity with which he wrote and the outpouring of sincerity and honesty.
I believe every parent and teen should read this as lessons learned are not only a matter of commone sense but straight from the heart. He talks not only of himself in that horror but I felt he was speaking for thousands more who did not live to speak of the war. It will give you a different perspective of the Vietnam war, and you will come away with a happy heart for his survival and his love of life today.
The full reality of war comes through in this chronicle of daily events--from the mundane to the dramatic, the grimey to the horrific. The author takes us inside the realities of what goes on in becoming a soldier and fighting a war at close range. The sentiments expressed are not always pretty and the lessons learned not always justified. The bonding of soldiers in battle is extraordinary while their dehumanizing and insensitivity to death and destruction is troubling. War does more damage to those we commit to it than we can possibly comprehend or compensate. Judge for yourself what would become of you had you the same experience of terror, death and destruction. The author has found solace and meaning in the teachings of Scripture, but the death and destruction of so many for so little in the end must give everyone pause to reflect on the efficacy and necessity of war in all but the most extreme of circumstances.
I truly enjoyed the PURPOSE of this book...BUY IT. You will not regret it. Thank you Mr. Vogel for bearing your heart
If you want a ground view of Marine grunt life in 'Nam, this is it.
the author's description of his Vietnam experience is typical of a combat Marine in I corps. But it is the first time i have read a summary of each chapter named "Lessons learned" at the end of the chapter. Very interesting and eye opening reading!
The Lord would not have called us soldiers if we were not meant to put up a fight.
2 Timothy 23 KJB
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
I read Dr Vogel's book. I did so to find out how my former Company, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment (K 3/7), had come along since my last wound received in August 1966, my departure from South Vietnam. The differences were sadly remarkable.
I had joined with K 3/7, in November 03, 1965, in an interesting way. I arrived at DaNang Air base on November 02, 1965, and the next day I was sent to Chu Lai on an early flight, there is was taken to the 7th Marine Regimental Headquarters, and was given a speech by the Commanding Officer of the 7th Marine Regiment, and told that the unit I was being assigned to was going into action this day, and there was a vehicle waiting to take me to the Battalion Headquarters to be assigned to a unit. The Colonel wished both I and another marine the best best of good luck and dismissed us to be taken to our units. We rode on a flatbed 106 platform called a mule, several Kilometers to the west to the 3rd Battalion Headquarters, where it was we were issued rifle, ammo, helmet, and web-gear, and transported to the helicopter landing zone to the east of the Battalion area. It was there that I met with the members of Kilo Company. I was assigned to the First Fire-team, of the First Squad, of the First Platoon. I was asked by my squad leader, Corporal Brock, if I was a seasoned Marine, and I told him I was a rifleman with the 8th Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune. He said to load up my magazines, and get ready to go, and he assigned me to Lance Corporal Barrone's Fire-team. I was asked the same things by Barrone, and within minutes, the helicopters had landed and we were boarded and on our way to Operation Black Ferret. The operation was a search and destroy operation 16 km south of Chu Lai, Quảng Ngãi Province, I Corps. On this particular operation, Correspondent Dickey Chapelle was killed by a mine booby-trap.
All in all, I was very lucky. The unit I had joined with was a very professional outfit. These men had been together before Vietnam, and they were the ones that had landed on Operation Starlight, some two and a half months prior to my coming aboard. The men that I was assigned to were very good about showing me things that would keep me alive in the war. They were very good leaders and teachers. In my time we fought in many an operation, and I was a casualty of war on two occasions, shot once on Operation Texas, and returned to the front after a stay st Guam Naval Hospital for 60 days, and blown up the second time in August 1966, which lead to my release from the Marine Corps in April 1967.
Sadly, the way Dr. Vogel describes the company, almost two years later, was an entirely different company.
