This book traces the author Eric H. Vieler's experience as a rifle platoon leader during the latter part of the Korean War. Major segments of the story deal with the hazards of everyday existence on the front-line; and some unintended consequences lend humor to an otherwise daily routine. While this book focuses on the author's experiences during a few months of the war; a historical overview is provided to allow the reader a greater understanding of the overall conflict. The book is dedicated to Master Sergeant Cleo Wilson; who left an indelible impression upon the author. Sergeant Wilson was the catalyst in forming strong bonds among the men in the unit; and when the sergeant and three others failed to return from a mission; the basic trust and fabric of the unit was threatened.
