Vietnam 365 Our Tour Through Hell-Memoir of David J. McCormack

Vietnam 365 Our Tour Through Hell is an honest reflection of one man's tour of duty in Southeast Asia...the true story of Spec-5 David McCormack, who left his home in Elizabethtown, Kentucky to serve with the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 5th Battalion, 2nd Artillery Automatic Self Weapons group located on Duster Compound, attached to 30th ARVN Rangers and a Navy Seal A-TEAM of 5th Special Forces. A master mechanic, McCormack was assigned to the Duster Compound near Ben Hoi as the personal driver and courier for the head of the Battalion Deployment and Recovery Division, Chief Silvers, the man who taught him how to survive a year running the "Thunder Road" throughout the region, avoiding threats from both enemy combatants and dishonest American officers. Known as "Billy the Kid" for his fearless attitude, McCormack shares what life was really like for those who served in Vietnam from 1970-71, where the threat of death could come at any time, and Hell seemed like home for 365 days.
