Synopsis
As a young enlisted man, Randy Kington served on the front lines with some of the first Marine combat units in Vietnam in 195 and '66. Kington describes his transformation from boy to man and the training that allowed him to survive nine months of some of the fiercest fighting if the Vietnam War. The good times of comradeship and of helping the underprivileged are contrasted with the life and death experiences that involved three major battles, countless ambushes, search and destroy missions. On March 21, 1966, during what former USMC Commandant P.X. Kelly described as the most intense three hours of the War, Randy sustained a horrific wound. He recounts the nine grueling months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. He tells of his adjustment to life in a wheelchair and the people who have played a part in his achievements.
