This is my story, "My Vietnam 1965" The actual Vietnam troop war began with first troops sent in February 1965 followed by the second troop entrance, May 1965. Technically, the war began in 1963 and ended in 1973. The first two years, from 1963 to early 1965, was called a "Police action" and was with "advisors" and not with ground troops. We, the Machinegun Squad, First Platoon, Charlie Company, First Battalion, Fourth Marine Regiment (Reinforced), Third Marine Division, landed in the Chu Lai South Vietnam as the second major insertion of troops sent into Vietnam. We landed under light resistance rifle fire on 7 May, 1965. We were at Chu Lai, only fifty miles south of Da Nang. I now have a better appreciation and insight of how it really was. You have done an extraordinary job in descriptions of the events that happen. Even though they must have been hard emotionally to deal with. The photographs were very helpful.

"I thought the subject had been exhausted until I read this book.""This book will make a difference in any person's life who reads it sincerely.""This book lays a sure foundation in explaining the love of God; then develops the love that is of God.""Dr. Tottingham has made a scholarly and necessary contribution to my library by penning this book.""Anyone will be a better preacher, Christian, husband, father and friend if they will this book."This book does some effective mind-bending when it says: ..".as one grows into love, one grows out of love. Love is being blinded to one's faults enough to see the assets as towering over the faults. Love is majoring on the assets and forgetting the faults." Isn't that good? Wish I had said that."Love and lust may be similar in appearance, but they're very different in nature. Lust is getting; love is giving: lust thinks only of its own happiness; love thinks of the happiness of another."
