"Finding My Way Home" excerpt from the book. "Soldier Sailor Sinner Saint":

 

Anyone who has spent time in the mid-west, particularly the southern regions, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, know well the dangerous threat tornadoes present. My earliest memories were in Okmulgee, OK, just South of Tulsa. 

Our town had a storm warning siren system. It had a unique sound of its own, so there was no confusing it with police, ambulance, or fire and rescue vehicles. I can remember the fear and panic I felt as a young child when it sounded. Many people had underground shelters. Our next door neighbor had one and made it available to us. We were in there frequently during the height of the season.

​

When I was 10 years old, we moved to Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh area. I was now in a totally different culture, no more cowboy hats, boots, oil wells, or storm sirens. So, for the most part it was only a memory.

​

I grew up, finished high school, and enlisted in the U.S. Army shortly after I turned nineteen. After completing my training, I received orders to Vietnam and landed in-country February 9th, 1968 during the infamous Tet Offensive.

Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. It is probably the most important festival or holiday in Vietnam. Traditionally families visit their relatives and temples, hoping to forget about the troubles of the past.

​

The Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army (the NVA) used that occasion to launch a carefully planned offensive throughout the country. The attack was repelled, but not without significant cost in American and Vietnamese lives.

It was evening before I arrived at my company HQ and was taken to the tent where I would work.  I was surprised to find the guys quietly setting at work benches made out of ammo boxes, writing letters home or reading. I thought, hey, this is not so bad, suddenly everything around me was exploding.  A siren went off over the camp, just like the storm siren in Oklahoma.  From that moment on I was reprogramed.

 

 

Fifty years later, that sound remains my emotional trigger.  Only God can silence the pain.
