The 'Nam "AC-48: A Tribute to the 48 Men from Alachua County, Florida Who Died in the Line of Service During the Vietnam War "

Forty-eight young men from Alachua County, Florida lost their lives in Vietnam. This book is about them. These men volunteered or were drafted—it makes no difference. They answered the call from their Country. To them, it was the patriotic thing.

“God, Family, Country.”

Patriotism has been described as love and duty to your Country. But as you read some of these stories, you will understand it is also the love and duty to their comrades … members of their unit.

These young men—sons, brothers, fathers, and husbands—were real people with real lives that were cut far too short. They will never know what we are able to enjoy, in part because of their ultimate sacrifice. Thank them and thank you for taking the time to read this book.
