Capturing the chaotic nature of the U.S. Marine experience at war in Vietnam, this memoir recounts the experiences of a young officer in a series of unrelated short pieces. In a narrative as fragmented as the war itself, the only resolution is the same one reached by the Marines who fought--the conclusion of a tour of duty with no happy ending. Each chapter describes a specific event, a story of emotion, or a remarkable person (some are heroes, some are cowards). The reader lives the experience alongside the author, gaining a true sense of the pulse-pounding contact, surrealism, pathos, humor, and beauty that defined one of the low points of the American experience.

Did you know that babies can hear mommy’s heartbeat in utero? As early as 18 weeks, infants in the womb can hear low frequency sounds like a mother’s heartbeat. By 25 weeks, their tiny ears are fully formed and can hear sounds outside the womb. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your baby become familiar with your voice, tone, and cadence. In fact, some experts even suggest that you sing a song to your baby in utero so they can become familiar with the melody. Singing the same melody will help them ease into sleep once they are born. This will also let them associate your voice and the lullaby to emotional attachment and a sense of safety. One of the reasons babies cry during bedtime is that they may feel that they are getting separated from their parents. This stresses them out and so it’s important to soothe and reassure them that they are safe. Aside from helping your infant relax and get ready for sleep, lullabies help strengthen the emotional bond you have with your newborn. When you cradle, rock, and look at your child while lulling them to sleep, you help assure them that they are in a secure place.
