Author’s Note

Shadows Among Us contains numerous references to the Vietnam War, which began in November 1955 and ended with the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Though the Vietnam references in Shadows Among Us are loosely based on truthful accounts of wartime occurrences, all other identifying aspects have been fictionalized. There is no “Bravo Company, the 4th Battalion of the 10th Infantry, Ground Assault Division” or “Cam Chi” village; however, the emotional fallout experienced by the characters is no less real.

It is my hope that this story will encourage readers to learn more about the Vietnam War and its enduring impact on all those involved, many of whom continue to be haunted by what they witnessed, what they experienced, and what they were called to do.
