His duty as a combat soldier, in America's most unpopular war, was defined by powerful influences during his tour. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first was his strong faith in Jesus Christ, a constant presence in a life threatened for 364 days in a forsaken land. No day passed and no night fell without him calling on the Lord for strength, hope, and the perseverance to continue service for an ungrateful America. This soldier left Vietnam with a richer relationship of God's presence in our lives and an appreciation for the precious value and precarious nature of life itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second influence was the burning loving for a young wife, whom he'd married the day before shipping out to war. That passionate love, and the knowledge that the young couple would be together as parents, gave added impetus for survival and his return as a husband and new father. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLastly, the constant reminder that death was a daily companion, claiming America's \"best and brightest,\" imprinted permanent doubts of survival, while robbing young men of both youth and innocence if they did survive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll combat soldiers experienced a similar debilitating phenomenon, and like them, Adams was just one scared boy in a place where he was neither brave nor gallant, and did only one remarkable thing: He escaped to tell his story!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11767199\"\u003eRobert Adams\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798351233420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8351233420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027070\"\u003eWars \u0026amp; Conflicts | Vietnam War\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44426461217005,"sku":"8351233420","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_4f4a2dce-daf6-4ea5-96d6-adc362d2ab80.jpg?v=1699985539","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/reflections-of-a-scared-soldier-boy-in-vietnam-god-redlegs-and-blueboys-9798351233420","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
