Book excerpt: A candid and refreshing glance at a young platoon leader's courageous spirit serving his country in the jungles of Vietnam, My Dearest Darling Barbara shares the intimate story of Colonel Gary L. Gresh and his unwavering devotion to his new bride, Barbara. While serving in the dense and uninviting habitat of South Vietnam from 1969 to 1970, then Lieutenant Gresh always found time to express his love for his wife back home in the United States. Through these letters, Gary reveals the fears and anguish he experienced while serving in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division. He faithfully recounted his daily, sometimes unimaginable activities to Barbara, knowing it was essential for his sanity to maintain this link with his wife amidst the confusion and horror of combat. Genuine and thought-provoking, My Dearest Darling Barbara shows the unbreakable bond between Gary and his wife during their separation and ultimately reveals the power of their love.
