Welcome To Dong Tam

By: Michael Trout

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This is the first in a series of true stories about a young helicopter pilot’s tour of duty in Vietnam.

SHORT!

This story was so short! Was it simply a free sample? What there was of it was good.

Jawhawk Two One Hueys in VietNam

A good ground-level view of a “FNG” entering a long-standing warzone. Worth a listen.

Genuine Humility

I really enjoyed the story but was disappointed when it ended after just 2 + hours and before Mike’s 1st flight.

Setting detail

My Dad, whom was also a Vietnam vet just passed away 2 weeks ago. I have 2 siblings, none of us have ever heard my dad speak of the war. One week prior to my Dad’s death I pulled out his DD214 form specifically to view his rank and title and if he had received any medals. I learned my Dad was an infantryman in the 9th division. I immediately started researching his dates and whereabouts during his service in 68 and 69. I was baffled, I had no idea my Dad had served his entire service in active combat. This book has literally placed me in the exact spot with vivid details of the setting. I’m hooked and cannot wait to hear the detail in rest of the titles.

A great war memoir

Well written, No fluff, includes only interesting stories. Great narration. Part of a series of short memoirs that form a single story line.
