Dedication: To my daughter, Kay and Major Jim Fritz.

Author's note: Faced with the sudden death of my mother in 1978, and with my then two-year-old daughter not yet able to understand what I had to tell her, I wrote this novel to record a non-combatant's account of the Vietnam War. While many of the events depicted in this book happened - although not always to me - the story itself is fictional. I hope that reading my novel of the Vietnam War enlightens you about what goes on in a war zone during the long hours between battles.
