Playing trumpet in the 9th Infantry Division Band should have been
a safe assignment but the Viet Cong swarmed throughout the Mekong
Delta, and safety was nonexistent. The band's twofold
mission-boosting morale and helping win the hearts and minds of the
Vietnamese-required them to leave their Dong Tam (a.k.a. Mortar
City) base camp and travel through a vast area of rice paddies,
dense jungle and numerous villages. By 1969, home-front support for
the war had dwindled and the U.S. Army in Vietnam was on the brink
of mutiny. No one wanted to die under the command of career minded
officers in a war lost to misguided politics. This memoir of a
conscripted musician in Vietnam provides a personal account of the
lunacy surrounding combat support service in the 9th Infantry
Division during the months prior to its withdrawal.
