The war in Vietnam is one of America's most misunderstood and hated conflicts. The veterans of Vietnam came home to ridicule, shame, and immense criticism for fighting a war in which many of them were drafted. This image of Vietnam has been ingrained in the American conscience and it is because of this that Vietnam is often discussed in the terms of strategy and geopolitical conflicts of the cold war. Lil' Bobby's Journey brings the conflict down to a human level and shows what those everyday Americans went through.
My granddad, Robert "Bobby" Whitchurch, was one of those young man that were drafted and called upon to serve his country overseas. Thousands of miles from home, Lil' Bobby would face a new king of war in Vietnam. He faced the struggles of being away from family, in an unfamiliar place, and facing danger each day. The journey began through the basic Training at Fort Polk, the events at Fort Bragg, on to Vietnam Lil' Bobby's Journey is a must-read for anyone that wishes to understand the everyday struggles of family and faith for a soldier during America's most hated conflict Sincerely- Zayne Whitchurch
