Eternally at War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989207874)

Captain Robert "Gene" Lathrop, USMC, VMA-311 was a valiant pilot and decorated warrior during the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1969. He loved the A-4 Skyhawk lovingly called the "scooter." Lathrop returned from Vietnam with a hefty dose of PTSD. He lived the remainder of his life as a forester with the Bureau of Land Management. He desperately sought to understand the powerful images and memories of war that corrupted the remainder of his life. To try and make sense of it all, he penned a collection of poems, The Dark Side of Heaven and this memoir Eternally at War. His hope was that all who read his works can find comfort for their families in the aggressive treatment of PTSD. Jeanette Vaughan is well-established as an award winning writer and storyteller.

She is the mother of four children, including two Navy pilots. Jeanette has a deep-seated respect for the military and our Veterans. She lives in a Victorian farmhouse out in the pastures of north-east Texas with her sheep, chickens, donkeys and sheep dogs.
