In the Shadows of Vietnam

In the Shadows of Vietnam

In 1970, an infantryman and his platoon encountered a horseshoe-shaped ambush in the jungles of Vietnam. Six members of the young soldier’s unit were trapped behind enemy lines, facing no chance for survival if rescue were not imminent. Twenty-one-year-old Specialist 4 Philip Salois and a fellow grunt were determined to save their six comrades. Before crawling out into the line of fire, Phil asked God to protect him and see him through this ordeal unharmed in return for a promise to do anything wanted of him afterwards. It is a promise that many men about to do battle make, but few keep.
