They stand on that wall in the freezing cold, pouring rain, and desert heat. They serve in desolate lonely postings all over the world, oftentimes never knowing whether or not they will return home, eat a home cooked meal, or hear “I love you, daddy.” one more time. You might call these occupational hazards. In our world, they are a way of life. They stand in cramped guard shacks, lie in over watch positions pestered by sand fleas, and fly in the dark to places unknown delivering everything from ammunition to holiday cheer to those deployed to some of the worst places that you can imagine. Who would choose to live this way? Anyone can volunteer for this; but if it were easy then everyone would be doing it. When you read these pages, know also that with each deployment, near death experience, and heartbreaking absence comes equal turmoil on the home front. It’s been said that the hardest job in the Army is that of an Army Wife. I couldn’t agree more. If you ask most folks, they most likely either know, or are related to someone in the military. If you ask those same people what their nephew, niece, or friend does in the military, many will rarely have a grasp on the profession of their loved one. Even those with little or no knowledge of their friend or family members daily routine will tell you with a gleam in their eye, wistful with pride as they say, ‘He’s in the service.’ Or ‘She’s in the Army.’ For many years I have seen many of these same people tell me about their former military service decades ago. These people are from a bygone era known as ‘The Greatest Generation’. They remind me of the day that I graduated from Airborne School down at Fort Benning, Georgia. I was older than most of my classmates and at the age of twenty- seven I reveled in the youth around me and it literally lifted me through the course. When my wings were pinned on my chest, I tried to stand at attention while looking at the frail older gentleman in front of me. He was wearing a trucker’s hat with a pair 7 8 RON BRELAND of jump wings on it, with about a dozen or so pins tacked to it. He asked me how many jumps it took to graduate from Airborne School, and I told him that the requirement was five. He told me that he only had four during his service in World War II. If I were any younger at the time, I might have thought myself a bit cocky in already having more than this ‘old warhorse’ standing before me. I was indeed honored by this nameless gentleman, a hero of the Greatest Generation as he told me briefly of his four jumps at Sicily, Salerno, Normandy, and Holland. Being stationed at Fort Bragg at the time, I was very familiar with all the drop zones named for these famed operations. I was truly honored, and in awe of this living history. He was more than an old retiree; he was a national treasure. Veterans love to tell stories, some more than others. Some are willing to share their experiences, and some are not. It’s very common that a lot of veterans don’t often talk about their service because many of the incidents are painful to rehash and are probably best left alone. We all have our own ghosts, and many memories left on battlefields all over the world. This may have been true in the past, and I don’t fault anyone for that. I on the other hand, find it somewhat therapeutic and cleansing to share these times with others. I chose this format for this book because most people love a short story, and I am no different. This is just a collection from my many privileged years in the United States Army. No two duty stations have been the same, and I have had a great many blessings both in combat and at home. The United States military is a cross section of society. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines come from every corner of this great land. They all have their own idiosyncrasies, accents, and particular ways about them; however, they all have one thing in common. They all love their country. Far away they are the servants of their people, but in their own right should be viewed as kings. Protected by walls of earth and sandbags, they create their castles in the sand. They bet their souls on what they believe, and their very lives on what they know. This book is once again dedicated to the Greatest Generation, and this one, and every one in between who have laid many a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom so that we may live in the best country in all the world. God bless them all, and God bless the United States of America. Freedom is the sure possession of those with the courage to fight for it. CHAPTER ONE GROWING UP IN THE ARMY THE GIFT OF LIFE entered the Army with the hopes of going to war in the Middle East. I came in I on the eve of Desert Shield and Desert Storm and dreamed of doing good things for God and country. In basic training I was trained by men who were sincerely preparing us for war. And then later on in my technical training, at the U.S Air Force’s Fire Academy I was trained extensively on how to protect and save lives. Up to now my career was a dichotomy. I know both how to preserve life and take it, and sincerely hoped that I would make a good soldier even though deep down I hoped the latter would never come to pass. I was now a third generation fireman, and was proud that I could be in the family business, but somehow still do it on my own through the Army. It was mid December 1992 when I found myself in the position of being an expectant father for the first time. I was a young soldier stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I was proud to serve with the 101st Airborne Division; young, and full of vigor. What I never did expect was for something so small and fragile to absolutely drop me to my knees. And then he arrived. At 1413 hrs. on December 23, 1992 my first child was born. Ronald Gary Breland II entered the world at 8 lbs., 5-½ oz. He was perfect in every way, and he had the reins on me without so much as the slightest effort. Not so unlike most new first time fathers, I was a little young and very confused. Could I raise this child? Would I be a good father? Could I handle the responsibility? While on duty at the fire station I was one of the ‘go to’ guys. In a crisis I was cool and collected, and my crew and I quickly formulated the answers to any variable that would arise in a bad situation. But somehow this little person had the fear of God hovering over me and I was swimming in a sea of doubt. 11 12 RON BRELAND We had chosen to go through the Army’s Midwife Program instead of a traditional doctor. I can’t say enough about this program. The midwife that we were assigned to was a young Nurse Midwife named Captain Graham. She was a straight shooter, and very professional. She eased many of the ‘first timer’ tensions that I had about becoming a father, and the entire pregnancy and childbirth process. I attended every single class that I could and left no stone unturned. I figured that the fewer surprises the better. CPT Graham was a little surprised that I showed up to the breast-feeding class, and as you can imagine I was the only man there. She laughed, and the expectant mothers snickered as I posed questions about particular brands of breast pumps and what my role in this particular task was. Like most first time fathers, I muddled through it. I attended Lamas classes and everything I could sign up for. By the time the big day arrived, I thought I was as ready as I could be. When the big moment came, CPT Graham was very calm but poignant in her guidance. As his tiny head crowned she placed my hands on it, with her hands cupping mine.

  • Vietnam War Literature and the Vietnam
    Searching for Closure: Vietnam War Literature and the Veterans Memorial by Charles J. Gaspar That many soldiers returned home from the battlefields of Vietnam only to find themselves mired in another battle in their own country is well recognized now. A vignette which opens the Preface to Frederick Downs' compelling memoir, The Killing Zone, makes this point dramatically: In the fall of 1968, as I stopped at a traffic light on my walk to class across the campus of the University of 3enver, a man stepped up to me and said "Hi." Without waiting for my reply to his greeting, he pointed to the hook sticking out of my left sleeve. "Get that in Vietnam?" I said, "Yeah, up near Tam Ky, in I Corps." "Serves you right." As the man walked away, I stood rooted, too confused with hurt, shame, and anger to react. (n.pag. [vii]) This theme - that there was no easy closure for the trauma of the war experience for the individual soldier - recurs throughout many Vietnam War narratives. "Senator," a wounded veteran in James Webb's Fields of Fire, knows this truth and rebukes his father's cajolery with the assertion that "It'll never be over, Dad. Most of it hasn't even started yet" (392). Similarly, Tim O'Brien's hero in his first novel, Northern Lights, tells his brother only half jokingly, "Glad I didn't wear my uniform. Look plain silly coming home in a uniform and no parade" (24). Indeed, powerful recent narratives such as Larry Heinemann's Paco's Story and Philip Caputo's Indian Country have shifted the focus from the soldier in combat to the soldier as he attempts to reconnect with the mainstream of American society.

    Network of Concerned Historians NCH Annual Report 2011 http://www.concernedhistorians.org INTRODUCTION The seventeenth Annual Report of the Network of Concerned Historians (NCH) contains news about the domain where history and human rights intersect, especially about the censorship of history and the persecution of historians, archivists, and archaeologists around the globe, as reported by various human rights organizations and other sources. It covers events and developments of 2010 and 2011. The fact that NCH presents this news does not imply that it shares the views and beliefs of the historians and others mentioned in it. The complete set of Annual Reports (1995–2011) was compiled by Antoon De Baets. Please send any comments to: <[email protected]>. Please cite as: Network of Concerned Historians, Annual Report 2011 (http://www.concernedhistorians.org). Network of Concerned Historians, Annual Report 2011 (June 2011) 2 ____________________________________________________________ AFGHANISTAN Last Annual Report entry: 2010. In early 2010, the National Stability and Reconciliation bill was officially promulgated, granting immunity from criminal prosecution to people who committed serious human rights violations and war crimes over the past thirty years. In March 2007, a coalition of powerful warlords in parliament pushed through the amnesty law to prevent prosecution of individuals responsible for large-scale human rights abuses in the preceding decades. It was not publicized and promulgated until early 2010. It was revived in 2010 to facilitate amnesties for reconciliation and reintegration of the Taliban and the islamist political party Hezb-i Islami Gulbuddin. In the absence of a practical justice system to address the lack of accountability by the warring parties, the government was urged to ask the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all parties to the conflict.
