I Am Ready to Talk covers 160+ personal stories from members of the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association who answered our nation's call to fight in Vietnam between 1959 and 1975. Stories come from all branches of our military and cover the war from the DMZ to the Delta, and those who served in the waters of the South China Sea and flew from bases in surrounding countries. Stories cover the tapestry of the Vietnam War experience. There is no better way to learn about the Vietnam war than through the eyes of those Americans who answered our country's call to duty. After fifty years of being silent, Vietnam vets are ready to talk - and this book will open your eyes to the kaleidoscope of their experiences. "Taken individually, and collectively, these veterans do indeed tell quite a story ... a microcosm of things that happened and were experienced over the span of the Vietnam War." LTC (Ret) Norman E. Zoller, JAG Two Tours in RVN, Field Artillery Special Forces (64-'65); 82nd Abn Div ('68-'69)
