Summary of James M. Dixon's Things I'll Never forget

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was taken back to the first hot day in 1965 when I announced to my family that I had joined the Marine Corps. In 1965, the war in Viet Nam was growing bigger every day. The United States had a military draft and was pulling more and more guys into the Army. I didn’t want to go to college, get married, or work. I just wanted to figure out what life had in store for me.

#2 I was drafted in 1964, and I had four options: enroll in college, fail the physical, become a 4-D draft dodger, or join the Air Force, Navy, or Coast Guard. I had run out of options. I was destined to go to Viet Nam.

#3 I was 18 when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. I was faced with the same choices as my friend Dave, who had enlisted in the Army. The Army paratroopers seemed to have the best training, and therefore the best chance of survival. I was color blind, which meant I couldn’t be a paratrooper.
