The Fence

Mission Accomplished!...From the Barrio through Vietnam, author Bill Morales takes us on a flight of emotion and enlightenment. Punctuated by fact and action, "The Fence" reveals both the men and the circumstances of this difficult time. Well worth reading. This book may encourage others who served to complete the mission of self discovery and closure.

Awesome book from a fellow Spectre!

I loved it! As a retired 22yr Special Operations Aerial Gunner with over 4000hrs flight time (mostly in Spectre gunships), I agree with Gen Hugh Cox, It was a perfect mix of aircrew stories/life, Vietnam era life, and Hispanic heritage. Bill really did a great job of balancing it all. I recognized some of the real-life counterparts of the fictional characters and felt like I flew side-by-side with Ray Vaquero throughout the novel. I really like the perspective of the ground teams Bill wrote of near the finale. Readers will get a "feel" of some of our missions and how we played as hard as we fought. Congrats, Bill on a great book! If you ain't Spectre...Yoooohooo -PJ Cook (Spectre from 78-99)

The Fence - A "Must" Read

Enjoyed Mr. Morales' "The Fence" very much. He made you feel like you were right there and the transition from war to camp to home was seamless.

From one who was there

I flew over 100 missions with Spectre in Southeast Asia before Bill Morales was there. I'm familiar with the incidents mentioned in the book and they are accurate with little artistic liscense taken. This is the book that needed to be written for over 30 years to show the world who and what we were. The off duty time brings back memories of my time at Ubon.My only complaint is that it is much too short.I can't wait for his next book. If it's half as good it will be great!

Love & War

"The Fence" is an amazing story of men in the midst of war and conflict. Yet, when you separate the machines, weapons, smoke and haze, it is also about roots, family, passion, love, and most of all, adoration.
