"POINT-A Paratrooper's Memoirs of Vietnam" tells the combat related
stories/memoirs of Rick Butler, a paratrooper in Vietnam in 1968.
The book is fiction but is based on Rick's combat experience. It
starts with his stateside Army training and continues with the
18-year-old's deployment to Vietnam. His combat experience is
chronicled with numerous stories representing his transition from a
green, inexperienced 18-year-old who is trying to stay alive, to a
hardened combat veteran and point man. Rick was fortunate not to be
wounded but feels guilty as he saw many of his buddies and best
friends get wounded or killed.
The book then describes the aftermath of war for Rick as he
struggles with post traumatic stress throughout his career and his
life-emphasizing the importance of family and counseling to cope
with the recurring nightmares, guilt and "point whispers" that
haunt him.
