Description:Jorge Salazar is an initiated member of the Latin Kings street gang. When he finds his heroin addicted mother dead on the bathroom floor, he begins to question everything about his life.Visualizing a high probability of an early death as a gang member, Salazar decides that escaping New York is his only alternative. He enlists in the United States Army and after basic training, he is deployed to Vietnam where he faces the life and death challenges he thought he left behind.The Story Behind The StoryNine million Americans served on active duty during the Vietnam War which lasted almost twenty years. While there is a distinction between veterans who served in-country and those who were stationed elsewhere, all nine million men and women are Vietnam Veterans.The Vietnam War was a 360 degree war fought against the Viet Cong (VC) and North Vietnam Army (NVA) who waged essentially a guerrilla war of ambush, terrorism and sabotage.Battles were fought in rural and remote areas, over terrain that included dense jungles, swamps and flooded rice paddies. Vietnam was a war where any soldier might encounter attacks, ambushes and booby traps at any place or time. It was a conflict where territory changed hands frequently. Veterans returned home from Vietnam, not with their regiment, battalion or company, but alone on a plane after their 365 day tour.Many were dismayed, upset and disgusted by their fellow Americans' condemnation of them and the war. The returning veterans felt abandoned by their fellow citizens and their government. Many suffered from physical and psychological injuries.
