The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty: United States Marine Corps

190 pp. | Scholastic | June, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-14890-1 $$10.95
(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Patrick, who joined the Marines just out of high school, is stationed at the Khe Sanh Combat Base in Vietnam. Patrick's journal entries record the horrors of the Tet Offensive, which includes losing close friends in battle. This gritty and detailed story is a companion to Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, which records the concurrent experiences of Patrick's sister. An afterword places events in historical perspective.
