About this ebook

We were all touched by the Vietnam War in some way. Veterans, their families, friends and a whole new generation still have unanswered questions about that turbulent time. Not Enough Tears lets you see the good and bad through the eyes of a young army draftee sent to fight for his nation.

Duty and patriotic pride quickly degenerated into a fight for survival. Taking one of the most dangerous jobs in an infantry company, Dave came home with hardly a scratch. There were no odds to explain the supernatural protection he received. After two months, that covering extended to everyone around him when he walked point. Over time, that unbelievable luck turned into a curse as walking point and going home became vexing choices between life and death.

Like most vets, Dave thought he buried the war after coming home. Surviving the horrors of Vietnam meant he could handle anything. Thirty years later his life was falling apart. Hed given up. Leaving his family seemed to be the only way to stop the pain. Learn the lessons in Not Enough Tears which can bring healing to tens of thousands who are still hurting and dont understand why.

It let's you know that you are not the only one who changed by being in the military and going into combat zones. It is good to know that other veterans feel the same thing you do. With God's help we can make it. Welcome home to all my veteran brothers and sisters.

About the author

Born in 1945, Dave Wright grew up in Northern California. He was drafted after dropping out of college in 1967. The Army taught him how to survive in our nation’s undeclared war in Vietnam. Thus began Dave’s transformation from innocence to hardened combat veteran. He received the Bronze and Silver Stars while walking point in the dense, steaming jungle. He completed college in 1973 with a degree in civil engineering and is finishing his career as City Engineer in Southern Oregon. Surviving Vietnam, and burying its effects with denial, anger, and isolation meant Dave and his family suffered with PTSD for the next thirty years. He now speaks at high schools about his experiences and the slow process of recovery.
