South Vietnam's army had taken over most of the ground fighting and American soldiers were coming home in record numbers. Still, replacement troops were needed to support the South Vietnamese war effort.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the anti-war movement and the disrespect experienced by returning soldiers, Rick Spencer joined the Army, volunteered for Vietnam, and was assigned to an Aviation Company. After a short training program in-country, Rick soon found himself under fire, flying over the jungles as a door gunner, among the most dangerous jobs in the war.\u003cbr\u003eRick was wounded in action, but returned to combat and finished his tour of duty. Shortly before Christmas 1973, he was discharged from the Army and returned to Tennessee-a changed man.\u003cbr\u003eOnly 10 months later on a cool October night, Rick Spencer went missing. Friends, relatives, and law enforcement began a massive search. Rick's mother made numerous calls, simply asking: Where's Rick? It's a gripping story with a shocking outcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deke Castleman,Buck Buchanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218185510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Ventures LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.32d","brand":"Deke Castleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440452317439,"sku":"9798218185510","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f5024e5-87a4-4bdf-a9a5-47f44bde615f.jpg?v=1777182527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wheres-rick-deke-castleman-9798218185510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
