My Friend You is a true story chronicling a young Afro-American man's four-year tour of duty in the marine corps during the Vietnam War era. The book contains its share of wartime drama, but upon reading further, it doesn't take you long to realize this book is not a typical Vietnam War story, but, instead, it tells about the love and devotion the young marine has for two orphaned children he met in mid-July of 1965-when he was flying as a volunteer crewman aboard a marine medevac helicopter and was dispatched to rescue a party of seventeen children. During the rescue, the young marine was awkwardly introduced to a pretty orphaned ten-year-old girl Kim and her protective teenage brother, Lanh. The three quickly bonded, and their interactions inexplicably triggered the marine's paternal senses to befriend them both, thus, changing his life forever. Some fifty-two years have passed since I promised those kids I would tell the world about their story, and I plan to do just that, God willing.
