Some Gave it All: Through the Fire of the Vietnam War

The sound was deafening in its silence. It’s not that he was alone — there were many people within a few feet. It was the isolation of his thoughts. “What have I gotten myself into?” thought nineteen-year-old Danny Lane. Just two days earlier he had been stateside. Now, adjusting his helmet more snugly over his short, brown hair, he was in Vietnam. It was November 20, 1968, and Danny and his fellow Marines sat on the cold, wet tarmac in full combat gear awaiting liftoff.

Some Gave It All is a riveting, first-hand account of Danny and his Fire Team #1 in the dense jungle of Southeast Asia as the Viet Cong pursue their every move. Sit with them in a foxhole while a “Broken Arrow” goes into effect as the enemy overtakes their position. The story unfolds like a Hollywood blockbuster movie: this action-packed adventure offers a front row seat into the intense sacrifice, courage, and convict that these soldiers endured.

A magnificent account of Corporal Danny Lane and his team of Marines. Vivid, poignant and honest, this story details one of the most agonizing war of modern times; one that lost the support of the American people and their government.
