"Back From War : Finding Hope & Understanding In Life After Combat"
-----by 1st Lt. Lee Alley

"Once in a while a truly great war book comes along that knocks your socks off
- this is one of those."
----- General Tommy R. Franks

“The down payment for the price of freedom is paid for with the sacrifice and blood of our fallen soldiers; the balance is paid for by the lifetime mortgage that is taken out on the lives of our surviving veterans (and their families).” — Lee Alley

Exceptional Publishing is proud to announce the national release of BACK FROM WAR, by 1LT Lee Alley  Back From War: Finding Hope & Understanding In Life After Combat is the harrowing narrative of 1LT Lee Alley and his year in the horrors of combat in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam from 1967 to 1968 and his reflections on the years since. Additionally, it is the true accounts of 23 other contributors, their time at war and stories of their return home. All of them discuss feelings of maladjustment, loneliness, depression, bouts of PTSD and negative family repercussions that are similarly felt by many of our nation’s veterans of foreign wars. Lee Alley’s message is clear: Our soldiers are forever changed and it’s time Americans realize it.

"Circles Around The Sun" is a fictive memoir about Doug's tour in Vietnam as a combat medic in 1969-70.
Of his book, Bates says, "If you were in Vietnam, there's healing in this book.  If you weren't, there's understanding."

Book sells for $15 (includes tax and shipping).

If you wish to purchase a copy of Circles Around the Sun you can contact the New Day Office at 931-537-6777.
All proceeds from the sale of each book will be donated to First Baptist Church Children's Ministry for new playground equipment.

Said Doug of his final days "I always thought it would be odd to be gravely ill and in a room full of people watching your bodily functions....but I find it gratifying and edifying that this many people care...and want to share life with you regardless of its quality."

His advice to us? "Celebrate the little things.
There are a lot more of those." .
