Welcome! Have you ever heard of the book Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans? I was reading your review of If I Die in a Combat Zone: Box Me Up and Ship Me Home and it immediately came to mind. Highly recommend it.
I actually have not but I am already looking forward to searching for it on my next trip to the bookstore! Sounds extremely interesting, thanks!
