Welcome to Litsy!

What started out as somewhat of a lark soon turned harrowing for Chick Donohue.
Former Marine & current merchant mariner Donohue was tasked with an insane job, take beers & community support over to the neighborhood boys fighting in Vietnam.
The beginning was a comedy of errors worthy of Shakespeare but when Donohue got stranded in Saigon on the eve of the Tut Offensive, it turned into a serious fight for survival with one goal: get home.

Absolutely love this! Go buy a copy! 💚

So happy I chose this for this month‘s #TBRtarot pick! I‘ve wanted to read it ever since I saw the film and if you didn‘t know this was a true story it would be absolutely unbelievable. What a unique perspective on the Vietnam war. It‘s such a great story of friendship and patriotism. I loved how it showed his changing views on the war and protestors.

Can‘t wait to see what next month‘s Tarot card has in store for us!

Finally found what I‘ll read for this month‘s #TBRtarot book! Target sticker! Phew! Been dying to read this since I saw the movie! Review coming soon! @CBee

Finished this up walking the pooch this morning. This is the story of a 26 year old ex-Marine from NY who decides to go to Vietnam, during the war, to find some of his buddies from town, offer them a beer, and a pep talk. It was quite an adventure and an interesting take on the war! #SuperSeptember

The incredible, true story of a civilian who traveled to Vietnam during the war to give some of his friends beer and words of encouragement from back home.
