It’s a long way from rural Georgia to the jungles of Vietnam, but a journey shared by many young men from rural areas, small towns and big cities across the United States in the turbulent 1960s. It’s even further from Vietnam to the Ranger Hall of Fame, but Thomas A. Bragg, Sr., made that journey, and shares it in the pages of this book.

As a youth, dyslexia stymied his formal education but did nothing to blunt is extraordinary native intelligence, his will to excel and his ultimate success. Being forced to leave home as a mere lad be-cause there were too many other mouths to feed would have broken lesser men. But the severely malnourished seventeen-year-old who showed up at an Army recruiting office in Columbus, Georgia went on to a successful military career that would lead to his induction into the Ranger Hall of Fame. Today, Thomas draws on his rich life experiences and deep faith to serve as a leader of his community and church. He lives with his wife Marji in his native Georgia.
