Keep Your Head Down: Vietnam, the Sixties, and a Journey of Self-Discovery"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His

"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self-discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre-civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His downward spiral--through booze, substance abuse, and sex--brings him dangerously close to a total breakdown. Finally, in a return group visit to Vietnam in 2000, he meets with former enemies now become writers and poets. Moved by the realization that "the last time I saw these people they were trying to kill me," Anderson confronts the past and calls upon a story--this powerful story--to rebuild a life.

Didn’t last long
Color: Buffy - The Bunny​, Size: One Size
Three stars because I really loved that this was made from 100% cotton and had the coconut fiber fill, it’s almost impossible to find non toxic, natural fabric and fill for dog toys for some illogical reason, but unfortunately, it only lasted a day for my husky. She’s not that hard on her chew toys, so it should’ve lasted. The squeaker was also not what I had hoped for, difficult to get it to squeak. This is a common problem w squeaky dog toys I’m finding. I would love for this company to improve the durability, get better squeakers and become the go-to place for me and other dog owners who understand the importance of all natural chew toys. I would support, be a lifelong customer and recommend to all my fam and friends.

Beware of these crinkle plastic filler!
Size: Newspaper 4 PCS
3:09 handed to her.. 3:13 (4 minutes) taken away from her.. chewing on the plastic inner sheet filler... Not good gor medium to larger dogs! Nothing more than a thin satin pillow sheet with crinkle plastic paper inside that can choke your dog if not monitored!
