When will the war finally come to an end? Home Front: Viet Nam and
Families at War recounts the private ordeals of several families
who bore the brunt of America's war in Viet Nam. Their experiences,
an ongoing tragedy since the last U.S. soldiers left Vietnamese
soil, reveal the physical and psychological wounds of war ---
wounds that don't discriminate between soldier and family. From the
backwoods of Maine to the rugged wide open landscape of Montana, we
meet a dozen soldiers and their families and hear their stories.
Author Willard D. Gray knows the fallout firsthand. His oldest
son spent two years and eighteen consecutive days in Viet Nam as a
BAMC trained medic, most of his tour was served in the bush or in
the gristmill of an evacuation hospital. When Willard's son
returned home in April 1970 without an honorable discharge, the
Gray family endured several months of tension, anger, and
disappointment.
Tommy Gray had come home a completely changed young man.
Willard's crusade on behalf of his son soon grew to include others
in the community who had also been traumatized and marginalized by
the war. A national tragedy became a personal quest.
