What's it like to kill women and children?That's one of the questions that Marine Corps Sgt. Clyde Hoch was regularly asked on his return from Vietnam. As a tank commander responsible for the lives of 8 to 12 people, Hoch was belittled when he tried to fit back in civilian life.
"You lost that war," he was repeatedly told.
Hoch has written a memoir, Tracks, about his Vietnam experience, and will be sharing his story on Thursday night, 7 PM, at the LV Vet History Project Roundtable, located at the Lehigh County Senior Center, 1633 Elm Street, Allentown, PA. The public is welcome.
I've attended a few of these oral history presentations, and recommend it to everyone.
