Sitting On a Headstone is an incomplete autobiography, bringing out the life, and near death, of a young man making choices that will, unknowingly, change his life forever. Wanting to fulfill a desire to honor a family heritage of service to his country he risks his life to fight in a war of governmental entanglements. It won't be his bravery that will be tested, but his fear and his mettle. The Republic of South Viet Nam is on the other side of the world from Ashton, Rhode Island, the sleepy mill village that is his home. He leaves home at 18, ready to take on the world, and returns two years later, a decorated by severely wounded soldier. Unlike his former self he must now struggle to meet not only society's demands but his own, fighting to find out who or what he has become, inside and out.
