- Jim’s letters are dated from his 1967 induction at Fort Bliss through his 1968 arrival in Vietnam; the page includes excerpts and collection photographs.
Field notes
The excerpts preserve ordinary details alongside military context: Jim asks about his daughter, says he misses the family orchards, and jokes that after the Army he will never walk anywhere or shine his shoes again. The timeline names his route through Cam Ranh Bay and Nha Trang before Dragon Mountain near Pleiku. The page credits Rick Mittelstaedt and Linda Cook with the collection and book.
