In July 1969 a young American GI-barely 21 years old and enticed
into the military just a year prior by his dream of flying-finds
himself on a plane bound for South Vietnam and the 101st Airborne
Division as a CH-47 Chinook helicopter pilot. So begins a year-long
journey in a combat zone of the Vietnam War-a journey of fear and
exhilaration, pain and joy, sadness and survival. Surprises of both
grief and delight pockmark the daily grind and accompanying
countdown to the day he can fly back home to the USA (called by
soldiers simply "the world") on the wings of a Freedom Bird. But
the one-year journey in Vietnam was also the beginning of another
journey-a spiritual journey of self-identity-which would take a
lifetime to unfold. In his memoir, Dale Petersen uses descriptive
prose and excerpts from letters to give the reader an intensely
personal view of that life-shaping experience over 37 years ago.
Golf 2 Tango 4 takes readers back in time to what it felt like to
be 21, homesick and unsure of what lay ahead...but willing to reach
down inside for the courage to find out.
