I felt like I charged the MG w/him!!

What a wonderfully articulated story this was. Gonzo meticulously paints the mental picture so we can all see the Vietnamese countryside w/high detail. You feel you're a part of the action & sharing in the camaraderie. Well done, McKilla Gorilla! I gotta try some of that armpit sauce!

Author's note

Greetings. As the author of Anonymous: Honor Denied, I would like to take this time to thank you, the reader, first for taking the time to view my work. This work represents the deep, ingrained honor and respesct I have for all the military personel over the decades that have fought to keep our nation the best in the world. It is written from deep within me, and I hope that it shares what goes through an individual's mind while being thrust into any horrific event. Enjoy and thank you again. Sincerely, R. "Gonzo" Houston

Rip-Roaring Read!

This is not so much a novel as a script for the best action movie of the year! Mr. Houston, although obviously not a trained writer, has accomplished that rarest of feats, a memoir that captures the undivided attention of anyone who picks it up. The lack of formal writing experience is actually one of the most intriguing aspects of the book, which has multiple sub-plots simply due to the nature of a "stream-of-consciousness" work of this type. The military minutaie will fascinate any vet and contrasts so greatly with the innocence of his thoughts of first romance that the reader honestly feels he has stepped directly into the author's shoes, with all the hopes and fears of the situation he has found himself in as real to the reader as the printed word allows. I have passed my copy on to fellow vets, old hippies, soccer moms and my own adolescent children, all of which have reported being overwhelmed by the sense of "being there". Although a good editor could have polished a few rough spots in the narrative this once again is actually a reinforcement of the feeling of reality the book imparts. I fully recommend this book as a tour-de-force memoir and a must-have for any thorough collection of modern military history.
