Beschreibung:
Chuck Booth was raised in Vernon, New York. At the age of 17, he joined the Army and shortly thereafter found himself in the middle of Tet, a major offensive of the Vietnam war. He continued to serve until he retired in 1988. Family ties took him to Killeen, Texas, also home to Fort Hood, where he penned "Paying It Forward" and "Paying It Forward: New Beginnings." After over 30 years in Killeen, he returned to his roots in Vernon, where he resides today.
The weapons of war that inflict debilitating wounds upon the men and women who fight with it have much greater range than the target they are aimed at. When men and women deploy to a war-torn theater, they do so with the prayers and fears of loved ones. When they return broken and dismembered, another battle begins as loved ones adjust, cope, and grieve. The parents, the unsung victims of the war, cry out, "Look what they did to my baby!"Logan was no stranger to the wages of war, but he wasn't prepared for what he found in the Adirondack Mountains, only a few miles south of Fort Drum.
