Whenever John Romero was asked if he lost his eye when wounded in Vietnam, he always got a confused look when he replied, "No. Santo Domingo." As a former minor league baseball player with just six weeks left to serve in the Army, Romero's plans for making a comeback are interrupted when his unit is unexpectedly deployed to the Dominican Republic to protect Americans caught in a quickly escalating civil war. There he finds himself in a combat situation. While dodging bullets he meets the beautiful but aloof Ramona, a local woman who inflames the passions of the paratroopers that view her from their command post. Romero plots a course to win her affections, but the political intrigue and the carnage in the streets conspire to thwart his every move. Then one day he makes a drastic decision that literally blows up in his face.

Like two bright-eyed lambs trotting happily off to slaughter, Paul and Maureen Fattig had no idea what was in store when they bought the woebegone old cabin along Sterling Creek in the upper reaches of the beautiful Applegate Valley in southwest Oregon.After being ravaged by fire and vandals, the cabin was occupied by bats and rats, all itching for a fight. But the two childhood sweethearts jumped at the challenge of restoring the old place and discovering its rich history. They were soon wrestling with charred timbers, wielding drawknives to peel logs, shooing away feisty rattlesnakes, keeping an eye on an advancing wildfire and preparing for a presidential visit.In the midst of it all they rediscovered the love, the laughter and the joy of life that originally brought them together.  

During the early years of the Vietnam War, several small cadres of men served their country and their fellow comrades-in-arms from a remote airbase cut out of the jungles of northeast Thailand.

Bill Everett was eleven years old when he walked into the office of the Chief of Police with a bag of popcorn in one hand, his badge in the other, and identified himself as the lieutenant in charge of the safety patrol program. He explained that crime was running rampant at the school and that he lacked the authority to investigate. The chief subsequently provided a badge that identified him as a junior police officer. These events started a law enforcement career that began in the sixth grade and ended when Everett retired as the first agent in charge of the Austin, Texas, DEA office. His law enforcement career was almost cut short when two bad guys attempted to kill him by dropping a railroad tie on him during an undercover drug smuggling investigation. Bill survived with serious permanent injuries and continued doing undercover work and making significant cases, including one involving a Texas chief of police.
