When I worked as a musician in Okinawa, Chuck and his wife gave me a real connection to 'home'. Pastor Chuck, a retired Marine and Vietnam vet, became an Idependent Baptist pastor. They ministered "mainly to the military' in Ishigawa-shi Okinawa, and now are in Naples, Italy.

Pop A Yellow Smoke and Other Memories tells of a U.S. Marine’s time in Vietnam. The 28 chapters chronologically cover the author’s tour of duty from July 1969 through August 1970. The stories, are true, poignant, and often humorous.
Might be a unique gift for someone.
