About this listen

Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s, when the country had a draft and five hundred thousand Americans were serving one year tours in battle-torn South East Asia. If you served in Viet Nam you will want to compare your experience with the author’s. If you know someone who went to Viet Nam, you will want to listen for yourself what it was like. If you lost a loved one or friend in the war, you will want to listen to this and share it with others.

This is an unbelievable true story and I simply wanted it to go on. I will be searching for James M Dixon’s next book eagerly to find out (hopefully) what happened to him afterwards in more detail.
I understand much more (as I wanted to) about the Vietnam War now and the way it has been written made it a lot easier to try (at least) to comprehend.
I feel I can’t thank the Veteran’s for their service after what James said at the end, nor did that War mean much to me as a toddler growing up in the Uk at that time, however it has left an indelible marque and albeit I won’t be reminded of the War 101 times, I will never forget the courage and magnanimous attitude, not to mention spirit and friendship the Marines had for the Grunts and the Gooks.
Thank you JMD.
