“Duke Barrett takes the sacred elements of the “Nam
Experience” and weaves them into a synthesis that is the
true, fundamental foundation of any authentic story about
the war in Vietnam, be it a memoir or a work of fiction,
and makes it a meaningful background to his novel.
This story is an adventure but be prepared for an
emotional and inspirational journey, as well. But then,
when you wake up, maybe all that you just read was just a
dream!”

"So often we think about war in abstract terms but
Vietnam vet, Duke Barrett, has made the traumatic
and long-lasting implications of battle spring to life
in this poignant story about the courage, loyalty,
patriotism and conflict of a young soldier. We root
for him to realize his dreams, knowing fully well
that the deck is stacked against him."

What is mesothelioma?
It is a rapacious cancer that attacks the internal lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart. More than 30 percent of Americans beset
with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos during military service. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs, there are currently 25 million living individuals who have served in the United States' armed forces. Hundreds of thousands,
if not millions of these living veterans were exposed to toxic asbestos-containing materials during military service. Asbestos dot
com offers complete information on mesothelioma & veterans, lists of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put our
Veterans at risk for developing asbestos-related diseases. Additionally their Veterans Assistance Department offers extensive
experience in filing VA claims and can help any veteran coping with mesothelioma receive benefits from the VA system.
