He was a natural athlete, a shy teenager who dreamed of girls, an all American kid. He rushed to enlist in the Marines and shipped out to Vietnam. He didn't come marching home. He came back in a wheelchair. Protesting the war at a rally in Los Angeles, he was shoved from that wheelchair, his medals torn from his chest. A searing, graphic, deeply moving account of a young man who believed in the American Dream and went to war to save it.
