“The down payment for the price of freedom is paid for with
the sacrifice and blood of our fallen soldiers; the balance is paid for by the
lifetime mortgage that is taken out on the lives of our surviving veterans (and
their families).” - Lee Alley
Exceptional Publishing is proud to announce the national release of
BACK FROM WAR, by 1LT Lee Alley
Back From War: Finding Hope &
Understanding In Life After Combat is the harrowing narrative of 1LT Lee Alley
and his year in the horrors of combat in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam from 1967
to 1968 and his reflections on the years since. Additionally, it is the true
accounts of 23 other contributors, their time at war and stories of their return
home. All of them discuss feelings of maladjustment, loneliness, depression,
bouts of PTSD and negative family repercussions that are similarly felt by many
of our nation’s veterans of foreign wars. Lee Alley’s message is clear: Our
soldiers are forever changed and it’s time Americans realize it.
As 1st Lt. of Recon Platoon of the 5th/60th 9th Infantry
Division in Vietnam, Lee Alley displayed extraordinary courage and valor that
earned him a hero’s reputation. Among his honors: Army’s Distinguished Service
Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, 2 Purple Hearts and a nomination for the
Congressional Medal of Honor. Lee has a heart for all veterans and their family
experiences.
Today, June 5th, marks the national launch of the paperback version of
Back From War. Under limited release, the
hardcover has proven to be a healing agent for many veterans and members of
their families. Combat not only affects the veteran, but also impacts family
relationships. Lee Alley’s mission with Back From
War is to help veterans and their families deal with the
ever-present effects of service.
