Victor Echo Zero Five is the poetry journal of Steven M. Silver, written during his years as a Marine officer and in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Silver became a Naval Flight Officer and flew in the backseat of F4 Phantom IIs. In Vietnam, he had 316 combat missions in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. After leaving the Marines, he eventually found himself a psychologist working with other combat veterans. Sometimes raw, always personal, Victor Echo zero Five captures the experiences of a young man during a unique, exciting, demanding, and sometimes painful time. Within the literature of the Vietnam War, the book offers a perspective not often replicated, and in its reflections of what has been for many veterans a long voyage home, it brings some light to the issues confronting all veterans of all eras.Steven M. Silver is a writer, psychologist, and historian. He has served as a Marine and an officer in the Army National Guard. As a psychologist, his specialty since 1972 has been combat stress reaction and PTSD, a field he is published in. He also has written a science fiction series available through Amazon Kindle.All author’s proceeds from Victor Echo Zero Five will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation (https: //fisherhouse.org/)
