George's journey takes you from farm fields in Wisconsin to the skies over Vietnam in F-4 fighter jets. Share his struggles, failures, and exhilarations as he moves along his path toward destiny. His story is filled with riveting accounts of missions flown by a fighter pilot into intense enemy resistance. Along the way, there were indications of divine intervention. The reception upon returning home from the war was less than desirable. Understanding the plight of Vietnam veterans is a prelude to respecting the contributions of 2.4 million Americans who have fought to preserve the freedoms we cherish." - provided by Amazon. 541 $d 20240131. 611 27 $a Vietnam War (1961-1975) $x Personal narratives, American. 648 7 $a 1961 - 1975. 650 $a Armed Forces $x Officers. 650 $a Fighter pilots $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Fighter pilots $z Wisconsin $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Personal narratives. 941 $a 1 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20240521010353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=781EC500173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
