He was raised to serve others. Would the carnage of war kill the charity in his soul?
Richard Vincent had an idyllic childhood. Born into a large and loving family, the Midwesterner grew up idolizing his dad and learning to help people in the neighborhood.
But after his father unexpectedly died when Richard was just seventeen, the happy-go-lucky youth floundered. Enlisting in the Navy and sent to Vietnam, the grieving young man soon found himself flying top-secret missions into Laos. And when the bloody conflict came home with him after a three-year deployment, the seductive call of alcohol and anger threatened to drown the kindness he'd been taught to practice.
In this vivid story of loss, horror, and redemption, Richar A Vincent recounts his transition from model good boy to haunted adult. Describing his experiences before and after his discharge, his compelling decades-long story of an average American confronting the unthinkable, descending into darkness, and reemerging into the light, will inspire anyone.
Surviving to Tell the Tale is a gut-wrenching memoir of one man's battle to put his unearned demons to bed. If you like powerful narratives, honest confessions, and finding hope in the face of despair, then you'll love Richard A Vincent's riveting read.
