An Armored Cavalryman in Vietnam, 1967-68

Synopsis: An Oklahoma Cherokee, Dwight W. Birdwell served the military in Vietnam, starting as a gung-ho soldier in a well-led, hard charging cavalry troop.

Birdwell is now an attorney with his own law firm. 32 photos.

The author/Co-Author, Dwight W. Birdwell, Comments 04/02/98: This book is more about maintaining a sense of decency and respect for humanity than it is about war, and the consequences of following that course of conduct. Anyone who wishes to contact me can do so at: DWBirdwell@aol.com (Non-Fiction)
