REMF: A Collection of Short Stories About Serving in the Rear in Vietnam

by Rick Smith

In October of 1967, Rick Smith was a college journalist covering a huge Vietnam War protest march at the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Three years later he was drafted into the military - as thousands were - and found himself on his way to the war itself. This is a different story about having served in Vietnam. There are notales of battlefield terror or glory. It's as much a love story as a war story. Smith was stationed behind the front lines in Vietnam - in the rear echelon. His touching tales of brotherly love and personal love reveal a different perspective of Vietnam. His heartfelt reflections of passing time provide an entertaining journey into life in Vietnam behind the front lines. His honest commentary about his experience - then and now - may make you laugh, cry or think.
