Semper Cool





I just read the book "Semper Cool" by Barry Fixler.  It was an interesting read because, as the subtitle of the book states, it's about Barry's "Fond Memories of Vietnam".  "Semper Cool" is a very easy to read page turner that isn't loaded down with a bunch of military jargon but rather an honest up-front account of one marine's experience in Vietnam.  Barry not only survived Khe Sanh, but a 13 month plus deployment in Vietnam as well.  I would recommend it for any adult, although I will warn you that in contains adult language and describes the death and destruction associated with war in detail.  Thanks Barry, Semper Fi!
