Vietnam Journal #1

In the heat of a remote firebase, Journal—new to the war and still finding his footing—shares the tale of a worn field jacket said to carry luck through the chaos of combat. As the men around him listen, each one drawn in by the story of a garment that’s survived battles and passed through hands now gone, the weight of memory and survival settles over the camp.

In "The Dogs of War!", Scott "Journal" Neithammer finds himself stranded in the dense jungle after his evacuation helicopter is shot down, forcing him to navigate a treacherous landscape littered with the aftermath of battle. He stumbles upon a firebase overrun by the Viet Cong just hours before, now a silent, haunted ruin where survival depends on instinct and the uneasy trust of a few remaining soldiers—Lieutenant Caldwell, Captain Solinski, Sergeant Teed, Malone, Sergeant Munkres, Valk, Barker, and Fritz.
