Elusive Honor

This post Vietnam memoir is not about war---It is about people-respect---and dignity; It is about finding peace---and restoring honor. Four years after the Vietnam War, the author met three Vietnam Era veterans. Since then, they have lived in the author's mind---coaxing, prodding, and haunting him for closure. Now, thirty-eight years later, he is telling their story. What follows is a rare insider's view of a Naval Discharge Review Board in action....with updated notes for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan War who may seek review of a discharge they feel was unjust.
