David's War

The True Story Of A Point Man In Vietnam

David's War is a true story that needs to be told. This 19-year-old Marine gave everything he had inside him for 18 months. He had the total responsibility of leading his platoon as a point man on missions. One mistake and they all could die. The war felt like an eternity, a brutal test of endurance that never truly gave him a chance to catch his breath. He had grown accustomed to the times of combat, the constant state of alertness, the pounding of his heart in those tense moments before an ambush, and the numbing fatigue that came after days without rest.
David followed the company's unspoken rule not to get too close to anyone; there was still a sense of camaraderie between David and his men. They were all battle-hardened soldiers, but barely out of their teens.
