An added note concerning Marc Leepson’s books, yes Marc is a good friend and a Vietnam war buddy, but he is also and excellent author. I have read both books and enjoyed them very much. My nine year old grandson wroth a book report on "Flag: An American Biography" – he had been assigned to write a biography on a famous American. He got a “B+” on the report. The teacher said she had never heard of a biography on anything but, a person.
