This book goes live on 6/29 just a few days before the 250 Birthday of America. During those 250 years many men and women have died in conflict. From the War of Independence to present. However, there was one conflict that our service men and women were not given the respect and honor they deserved for their sacrifice, that conflict was Vietnam. Many of our military were drafted, they had no choice they either had to go or go to Canada or be jailed. When they came home they were hated. It is past time for them to be shown the respect and honor they deserve. Their sacrifice was not by choice- To Michael T Worden I say, Simper Fi, Once a Marine Always a Marine. Thank you for your service, sir.
GRIPPING NEW MILITARY MEMOIR 🇺🇸
Get Off My Bus and on Those Yellow Footprints by Michael J. Worden
Drafted. Not Enlisted. One reluctant young American received the call that changed everything. Forced into the United States Marines and thrust into the brutal chaos of Vietnam in 1969, he stepped onto those sacred yellow footprints and began a journey of raw survival, unbreakable duty, and profound transformation.
From the shock of induction and the soul-crushing grind of boot camp… to the relentless jungles, gunfire, and life-or-death decisions in Vietnam’s killing fields… this unflinching memoir pulls no punches. Experience the fear, the brotherhood, the courage under fire, and the heavy price of serving a country that didn’t always welcome you home.
Powerful. Honest. Unforgettable. A must-read tribute to the drafted Marines who answered the call and carried the weight of history on their shoulders.
Honor the sacrifice. Feel the reality. Never forget.
