{"product_id":"less-than-a-hero-a-fight-for-life","title":"Less Than a Hero: A Fight For Life","description":"The Vietnam War. A draft notice on July 4, 1966, changed everything. Just 19 years old and fresh out of high school, I had never even heard of Vietnam. But six months later, I was navigating its jungles, not only fighting but also fixing weapons in the heat of combat.\nLess Than a Hero is a firsthand account of a young man thrust into an undeclared war. Without advanced combat training, I was thrown into a world of constant danger and sleep deprivation, where survival demanded vigilance, courage, and—perhaps—a guardian angel.\nWith firsthand perspective and unwavering honesty, this memoir unveils the untold story of Vietnam’s impact on those who served. Returning home, many veterans faced new battles: PTSD, the effects of Agent Orange, and the struggle to find normalcy. Today, I dedicate my time to helping other veterans find the support they deserve, donating a portion of this book’s profits to assist homeless veterans.\nIn this book, you will: Experience the Vietnam War through the eyes of a young draftee. Gain insight into how the U.S. government handled the Vietnam “conflict.” Understand the struggles veterans faced upon returning home. Explore the impact of PTSD and how soldiers learned to cope. Find hope in a future free from conflicts like Vietnam.\nLess Than a Hero does more than recount history—it honors the resilience of soldiers and the importance of supporting our veterans.\nGrab your copy and step into a powerful story of survival, service, and hope for a better tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DSL7KPZ3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DSL7KPZ3.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Monteleone, Richie|Caputo, Sandra\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
