Healing Military Injustice Racism

About the Book

The author of Military Injustice Racism had to fight two wars. The first was waged in the Republic of Vietnam as a combat soldier – and the second was against the United States Army Discharge Review Board as a civilian – and lasted seven years. The author is still suffering and will probably go to his grave carrying bruises. While he has tried to conceal his hurt, he’s damaged by severe emotional trauma tied to the shame, low self-esteem, embarrassment, and internal pity that feeds the effects of PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder). In sharing his story, the author recalls how he won the freedom of feeling that he had served his country along with the ability to reap all the benefits and honors that go along with being a decorated combat veteran of the U.S. Army with two Purple Hearts. Join the author as he shares how he was railroaded, blacklisted, prosecuted, convicted, sentenced, locked up, and forced to serve twenty days of incarceration in Long Binh Jail, Vietnam … but he was never defeated.

About the Author

MIR PURPLE HEART is a U.S. Army War veteran and a Purple Heart recipient. In this autobiography, he looks back at his life in Chicago, to serving in the Vietnam War, and then back to Chicago. He was wounded in hostile combat and denied medical surgery to remove shrapnel from his lower lip and went AWOL to avoid suicide. Although he was incarcerated, he became a victor – not a victim.
