Peninsula College 2024 presentation about A BOY AT WAR.
"I laughed. I cried. I found myself dodging bullets."
"I just finished reading your book. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It also made me think. It needed to be written and I thank you for writing it. We all hope that we will be lucky enough to live in a world without war." Steve Mohler
I read your novel A BOY AT WAR avidly. I found it to be a better book about the experiences of being in Vietnam than Matterhorn. In your book you take the reader with you as you go out each day or night searching for an unseen enemy not knowing if you'll still be alive at the end of the mission. The reader becomes a part of Lima Company as you eat C-rations, as you sit smoking cigarettes, listening to the eerie silence. Because you take us readers into the field with you and your fellow Marines, we begin to understand the toll it took on all of you.
I appreciate the courage it took to write A Boy at War, and I thank you for adding to an historical account that's especiall relevant today.

Chapter One
Finding the Pace
Therapy is not a one-size-fits all process. Timing is everything. You may be able to sense that the veteran coming in your door needs to tell their story, but remember the first rule of medicine: create no harm. Rapport and an ambience of safety come first. So, what is the right amount of disclosure for the patient at the right time? A rule-of-thumb is every three months for 1-3
