Dedication

United States Veterans of all Wars, especially those who were KIA. The Vietnam helicopter crews, the nurses, and all my 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) brothers in arms. To the junior enlisted U.S. Army Infantry, quietly doing their duty, who deserved but got no recognition. And those who died fighting (as) a hero that no one survived to witness.
