Huey crew chief Larry Smith grew into a hardened man in his First Cavalry helicopter while his little sister Tracy started kindergarten back in New Jersey and learned of war from the family television. As Larry turned 19 in December 1967, battles intensified and his letters darkened, casting doubt on his promise to return home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Decades after the war, as he lay in a coma, Tracy read her brother's letters in full and vowed to uncover the whole truth of his war. What she learned makes the case for generational trauma in the mental health realm: children do not belong in war, nor should they watch one unfold on television.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tracy Smith, Larry Ray Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147669463X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476694634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.99w x 0.53d","brand":"Tracy Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898514628863,"sku":"9781476694634","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f011d53-2937-4f86-9c0a-0d9556090328.jpg?v=1721376489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pennies-from-vietnam-tracy-smith-9781476694634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
