In Class of '67, former Marine lieutenant Jack Wells delivers a moving and fitting eulogy to the forty-three lieutenants who were in Marine Officers Basic Class 6-67, and who died in Vietnam. Another classmate died years later in Lebanon. As the war escalated, the number of Marine officers sent into battle increased dramatically. The highest eschelon of Marine commanders were greatly concerned about the high casualties, but with the war raging, and with Marines never backing away from a fight, or trying to protect their men, the casualties continued to climb. This book is a memorial to those men who made the ultimate sacrifice for their men and country. As Wells introduces each of the forty-four, readers will be moved by the enormity of loss: loss of youth, loss of leadership, loss of the best...and the brightest. Whether we support a war or march against it, nothing diminishes the significance of what each man sacrificed for country and family. Over 160 color and b&w photos, plus 14 maps in the book.

This book was released on 2015-03-12. Class of ‘67 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. These ten stories focus on people who came of age during the turbulent years of the latter 1960s. The events in this collection cover the years from the early sixties when most of the characters were children to the turn of the millennium when these same characters are in their early fifties. Readers will find here a quirky but honest look at the fancies, myths, and follies with which we surround ourselves as we age. With humor, a touch of the bizarre, and the subtle effects of a war that influenced those who fought it, as well as those who did not, these characters stumble toward the future in a world slowly moving ever closer to chaos and disorder. The collection is unified by the fascinating “back story” of Finch and Lauren, and their relationship over a forty-five year period. The ins and outs, ups and downs of this long-term love affair are all here among the bizarre events, the humor, the sadness, and the joy of a journey from the early nineteen sixties into a new millennium.
