William A. Campbell...Through his poems, follow the thoughts of a soldier from his first day of arrival in Vietnam to the unwelcome arrival home to his paranoia in his hometown streets to the hospital wards for PTSD. Vivid images capture what it was like to fight a war that no one wanted then to return home without victory. The struggle to re-adjust to normal life is an ongoing war within himself. If you are not a soldier, this book will help you understand the soldier, but if you are a soldier or a veteran, anywhere, by reading this book you will know that you are not alone.

To Remember, To Move Forword!,
This review is from: Black Marble Wall (Paperback)
I remember Vietnam, the war, the anger the hurt that surrounded our soldiers and the upheaval in our country. War is always difficult; never agreed upon and forever debated; however in the wake of all the words the fighting men and women are the ones who bear the scars and the memories.
In this work by author William A. Campbell, we are able to feel the heart-cry of our brothers, sisters, fathers,mothers who, not thinking of the politics but the commitment they promised to uphold as our military defense, did their honorable duty; but they were left with tears no one ever heard. It is a story told in verse that bears reading from a soldiers perspective; a cry to be heard and appreciated. Very moving, leaving one remembering those that should never be forgotten.
