Vietnam And Beyond, Veteran Reflections

VIETNAM & BEYOND is my third publication with My Family Compass written under my pen name of Ann Stone in 2012 and Comes A Soldier’s Whisper in 2013.

Jim Markson and I were married for 14 years and divorced in 1987  and have now collaborated to produce a powerful book in VIETNAM & BEYOND that combines Jim’s letters home from Vietnam with his later recollections. It was after Jim read his father-in-law’s (my father's) letters written as a 101st Airborne paratrooper in WWII that he realized he shared many of the same sentiments.

I was not aware that Jim’s mother had saved every letter written while deployed in Vietnam and before we met in 1971. Together, we have a story to tell, one that will resonate with many other veterans of war, past, present and future.  

We are very proud to embrace veterans of all wars and share over thirty veteran stories from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan to show the similarities of war and the soldier from one generation to another.

We hope that you will visit us www.VietnamAndBeyond.com and share your family veteran stories.
