Fighting The Homefront : A Military Family Memoir of Vietnam, Agent Orange, and the Fight Against the VA
Overview
A generational memoir born of survival. A family's relentless pursuit of institutional accountability. Before the battlefields of Southeast Asia, the story begins on two entirely different horizons. It traces the harrowing steps of a young girl whose family was torn apart as they fled the shadow of Hitler's regime in World War II Germany, alongside a young Canadian carving out a new path in the United States who was called into the U.S. Army by the draft. Their convergence marks the foundation of a resilient family bond-one that would soon face the ultimate test of combat. As the sole survivor of a devastating platoon ambush, he went on to dedicate twenty-three years to military service, earning the distinct rank of First Sergeant, E-8. Decades later, the delayed, long-term effects of Agent Orange exposure would surface in his retirement years, bringing about his final and most painful battle-fought not in foreign rice paddies, but against the very institutional bureaucracy sworn to protect him. Fighting the Home Front is a powerful, generational memoir. This book is deeply grounded in truth, featuring real photos taken on-site documenting this personal Vietnam journey. Every photo is fully authentic taken on site during the Vietnam war. Primary visual records, official oversight complaints, and redacted emergency services logs are included. They demand dignity, respect, transparency, and administrative justice for America's war veterans.
