It Is Good

The book AND BRAVE MEN, TOO is a good book. I would recomend anyone who is interseted in the Vietnam War or in lots of action should read the book

Brave Men, And Used Men.

Being a veteran of the Vietnam war I enjoyed reading the tales from the men who were true American Hero's. Their stories tugged at my heart at times, and some made me smile ear to ear. A short time after reading "And Brave Men,Too" my local newspaper announced that there would be a Vietnam Veteran reunion and have several guest speakers. One of the guest speakers was Sammy L. Davis. Having read Sammy's story in this book I knew that he was a person I wanted to meet. He was a Private in the Army when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. I shook his hand and I looked up and he was wearing A dress Army uniform, with the Medal Of Honor around his neck. It was Sammy Davis, I'd been searching for him, and he found me. He pulled up a chair and started talking to me. I sat there dumb founded, not knowing what to say to a real, honest to God, Hero... Sammy had never even seen book before, and told me how it all came to pass. The Author had apporched him at his home and ask for a few minutes of his time. Sammy told me that he pulled out a tape recorder and ask him to tell him about the day he'd turned into a hero. Sammy told him the story.... Mr. Lowry told Sammy that he was talking to other Medal Of Honor winners, and he hoped he would get a big enough response to make it into a book. He promised Sammy that if he got it published he, and the rest of the men he'd interviewed would receive 90% of the profits and he'd only take what was needed to get the job done. Sammy looked through my copy, and started to laugh. He told me that it was word for word from the day he talked into the tape recorder. All of the other guys that he knew had the same run in with Mr. Lowry"! "We never got a penny from him." Heck, if he hadn't I wouldn't have shaken the hand of an American Hero, and had this story to tell. If I had it to do again I wouldn't change a thing, and I got to read a great book of the accounts of so many men that I look up to. And Brave Men, Too is a book everyone should read, to learn the truth about what happen to a few brave men, in their own words.
