Larry’s memoir tells a detailed story of his life, connecting personal experiences with about 50 people. It takes you on a journey from his early days on a farm in Kansas, his six years helping in Vietnam, and his various jobs in the U.S. afterward.
In the stories, you’ll meet a range of people, from Larry’s family and neighbors to friends in Vietnam and the U.S., and even a high-ranking government official. Some stories are intense, like a survivor of the Cambodian Killing Fields, a civilian captured in the 1968 Tet Offensive, and the sad loss of a friend in the Mekong Delta.
Larry’s experiences go beyond borders, involving refugee resettlement, federal programs, and real estate. His deep understanding comes from living in Vietnam and interacting with people from 35 countries.
Larry uses these not-so-ordinary people to paint a vivid picture of American history, especially in Vietnam. In his preface, he beautifully explains his goal: to immortalize the impact of individuals and appreciate the beauty they bring to life. Essentially, Larry’s memoir explores how ordinary people can profoundly influence our lives and the world.
