BRING OUR BABY HOME

About the Book

“BRING OUR BABY HOME” “This is a powerful story that must be shared. It is about Hero’s, the best of human deeds, of caring, and unwavering morality despite destruction and chaos. Above all, this story is a story of humanity and grit that shows what heroism is about.” Linda Quan, M.D. Bellevue, WA “A riveting, true story, told by a former U.S. Army Medic Sergeant (a scrounging-Houdini) about a brilliant young military surgical team that saved hundreds of American troops’ lives before, during and after the blood-ridden 1968 TET Offensive; as well as that of a newborn Montagnard girl, who returned to the U.S. with that war weary sergeant to live a free, full, productive life as his daughter, and to become an American citizen.” Sgt. James C. Hudson Kelseyville, CA Reporter-Photographer, Green Beret Magazine, 5th Special Forces Group, RVN 1969-70
