Robert GarlickRobert Garlick is a Vietnam Army veteran, serving on active duty from April 1968 to February 1970. His military service included twelve months in Vietnam serving in the Artillery, Infantry and as a Staff Duty Driver. Some of his fellow veterans of tht era tell him he should not be alive. After being honorably discharged, he returned to school and earned a Baccalaureate Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Rhode Island. His engineering work has taken him all over the world. After taking a job in Banda Aceh, Indonesia following the earthquake and tsunami, he was required by his position to write weekly reports. This is where (and later in Port-Au-Prince. Haiti) he began to hone the writing skills needed to tell this story. In letters home, friends were stunned by the imagery and clarity of his writing. Finally in the summer of 2010, while still in Haiti, he began to write for a few hours on his day off of Sunday, recounting his time in Vietnam from decades earlier. In the summer of 2020, he had a chance encounter with a veteran of the Vietnam era, who offered to help edit and get the book published. Read More Read Less
