Few Americans would have been able to find Vietnam on a map when the frist U.S. troops arrived there. As history has shown, what was initially put forward as an effort to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia evolved into a military and political quagmire for the United States. As battles raged half a world away, tensions in the U.S. peaked between those who backed the involvement and those who questioned it. For the first time ever, returning veterans were greeted by criticism and hostility for the sacrifices they and their fallen buddies had made for a cause they may not have fully understood but felt committed to defend. Discover what led to the war and to the turning of public opinion against it in the form of massive antiwar protests. Learn how the war and its effects back home changed Americans' attitude toward combat and how the Vietnam experience caused long-lasting changes in U.S. society, plitics, and culture.

Macy's Adventures in the Dark is an illustration of how you can't judge someone by their outward appearance or by the handicaps they have on the outside. We adopted Macy at 8 months of age from our veterinarian after she was left by the breeder when he realized she was blind. Macy left home one night and was gone for over two weeks. We continued to pray for her to return home worried each day about what was happening to her. We realized that her blindness could only cause her more hardship. However, when we were called by a friend that she had been spotted after two weeks, we were amazed how far she had wondered off. She was in good condition other than her scarred up face from running into briars in the woods and a little underweight. We pondered the events that she may have faced along the way. The characters are illustrations of light that touch our lives along the dark path of life. Each character is based on the personalities of our family members. A funny and delightful story for children yet enlightening for adults on how you can return from the wrong turns you take in life if you pray and trust in God and seek advice from the good people that God has put in your path.
