Richard Andrews, a veteran, has completed his new book “Welcome to Nam”: a gripping and spellbinding memoir of the author’s time overseas during the Vietnam War, and how his experiences stayed with him long after he returned home.

“After returning from Vietnam, I had a lot of nightmares,” writes Andrews. “They started getting so bad that I went to the Veterans Affairs to get help. After a few months, my psychiatrist mentioned for me to start writing them down as soon as I woke up. He then asked if I was getting any compensation for my ears from the land mine? In order to do that I had to tell the Board why I thought I had PTSD. But, to do that, I pretty much had to describe my whole year in Nam! So, I started from the beginning, circling Cam Rahn Bay, and seeing Vietnam for the very first time. I was excited and scared at the same time! I mean. It’s not every day you get to war! I just couldn’t picture someone actually wanting to kill me! I found out in a hurry just how wrong I was!”
