Marine Sergeant George P. Hutchings landed in Vietnam in 1967.
Fighting near the northern Province of Quan Tri, he was deployed on
hundreds of combat missions, even the dreaded nighttime "Scorpion"
maneuvers. A riveting survival story, written in his matter-of-fact
"in your face" style - from his entire battalion being ambushed and
nearly all killed in the jungles of Medina, October 12, 1967, to
his "mooning" the North Vietnamese as they shelled him on his way
to the outhouse, you will not put this book down. Operation Ford,
north of Phue Pi, March 18, 1968; George was caught in crossfire
and shot three times in the hip with an AK-47. Acting dead as a
Vietcong stuck him with a bayonet, George shot him in the head.
Medi-vacced out, George was awarded the Purple Heart. Follow
George's journey from a dysfunctional youth, to seeing his friends
blown to pieces in the muddy battlefields of Southeast Asia, to his
difficult readjustment to civilian life. His heart bare, George
shares how he fell in love and after years of searching, discovered
his purpose in life, which led him to his present day international
projects delivering much needed medical supplies to countries in
Africa. Perhaps his greatest survival skill is to never let
situations get him demoralized.
