This is not a book that you can sit down and read as a page turner, if you have first-hand experience in the war in Vietnam in any stage of it. It is an encyclopedia of the men and battles and locations that bring memories flooding back, just by naming the places and telling how they came to be. For the non-Vietnam combatant, it is a GREAT history book, done in a manner that is personal, in that it tells history through the lives and actions of everyday heroes and outstanding, highly decorated individuals. Taken as a whole, you are hard pressed to find a book of this type anywhere. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1180 pages.

Mark (ret.), Master Sergeant Tony Junot (ret.), Captain Shelby Stanton, (ret.), and Chief Warrant Officer Paul A. Bows (ret.). Ray Bows joined the US Army at the age of seventeen. In 1963 he volunteered for Korea where he was stationed at the US Army Chemical Depot, Camp Mercer. He then volunteered for an inter-theater transfer to Europe, where he was assigned to the Rail Transportation Office (RTO) in downtown Paris, France. He then volunteered for Vietnam where he was assigned from June 1968 to June 1969. He was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division at Cu Chi where he coordinated convoy movement within the Iron Triangle and III Corps. After Vietnam, he was assigned to Germany, Belgium, and again to Korea for a total of almost sixteen years overseas service. He retired from active duty in February 1983, at which time he began researching and writing about the Vietnam War. Master Sergeant Bows is the recipient of the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, and the 1st Infantry Division's Professional Brotherhood Award. The purpose of our memorialization project is to gather, record, and disseminate information about U.S. military installations and facilities overseas named for fallen servicemen and women during war time and to honor their memory. Such facilities in Vietnam took the form of base camps, military compounds, fire support bases, patrol bases, and landing zones; headquarters buildings, operations centers, ammo storage areas, tank farms, and rock quarries; hills, ports, and beaches; hotels, bachelor enlisted and officer quarters; dining and mess halls, enlisted, NCO and officers clubs; hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, medical wards and aid stations; hangars, heliports and airfields; chapels, libraries, and day rooms; movie theaters and amphitheaters; baseball fields and swimming pools; commo sites and relay stations; parade fields, quadrangles, and bridges; trails, roads, and avenues; bays, coves, and rivers; and, finally, monuments, plaques, and honor rolls. The memorialization project began in 1987 under the name Vietnam Military Lore by historian and author Master Sergeant Ray Bows, US Army, Retired. Ray's original work recorded those honored during the Vietnam War when installations and facilities were named in their memory. In 1987, Bows visited the Department of the Army's Casualty and Memorialization Branch in Alexandria, Virginia, and learned that of the numerous military installations he had encountered during his time in Vietnam, less than a dozen were on file. He then went to the US Army's Hoffman Building and poured through tens of thousands of orders, seeking those which memorialized base camps in Vietnam. His results increased from less than a dozen to approximately eighty US Army facilities and installations. Bows then researched the other services within the Department of Defense (DoD). Ray's 1988 book, Vietnam Military Lore.Another Way to Remember 1959-1973, included 127 such namings. His 1997 book, Vietnam Military Lore - Legends, Shadows and Heroes, included 53 chapters and told of the early years from the death of US Army Colonel A. Peter Dewey on 26 September 1945 through to the Battle of Dong Xoai on 10 June 1965. Since then, he has identified over 800 installations and facilities in Vietnam which are included in his 2015 book "IN HONOR AND MEMORY", and in 2016 Bows completed his book "CAMP FRENZELL-JONES: Home of the Redcatchers in Vietnam", the story of PFC Herb Frenzell and SGT Billy C. Jones, for whom Camp Frenzell-Jones in Long Binh was named.
