The Valley of the Living

By David M Arenstam

The Valley of The Living - In 1967 and 1968 the Vietnam War affects almost every corner of the United States and for the men who serve in the Aerial Rocket Artillery division of the historic 1st Cavalry, every mission is a reminder of their duty and of the uncertainty of coming home. Huey pilots and their crews bond as men in war often do and for two soldiers, raised on opposite sides of the continent, that connection is the difference between life and death. For Bobby Connelly, a 20-year-old pilot from California, and Russ Warriner, his crew chief, that difference is as thin or ephemeral as the dismal gray fog and mist that routinely lingers over the jungle treetops surrounding their makeshift airbase in the north. For Connelly and Warriner, a single mission, a routine call for help on a fateful day in February, 1968 would forever link their spirits, and for one of them, the mysterious strength of that life force, a force that somehow goes back generations, would help him live to see another day. But would it bring them both home?
