I saw this author on a PBS documentary standing at the headwaters of the Mississippi at Itaska Park. He was beginning his canoe trek down river to the gulf. It caught my eye because I grew up in Park Rapids only miles from that headwaters and have many family pictures of visiting cousins over the years all taken at that very iconic location where everyone walks on the rocks to cross the river and gets their picture taken. Mr. Crigler graduated in 1968 and I graduated from Park Rapids HS in 1970. Every afternoon in Social Problems, Mr. Dyre would begin our class with the number of killed in action update on the board. There was a never ending discussion of the war and how it was tearing the fabric of our society. Not how Social Problems would be taught in 2020 but good for the time… It was a true reminder that if we didn’t go to college, we would likely go to Viet Nam… Harsh, but true for the class of ‘70 Almost everything Crigler talks about is so applicable and relevant to my experience as well. His first hand account of enlisting, training and combat will surely relate to anyone who came through that era… I would think this story told in short easy listen chapters on Audible, will be more appealing to males rather than females since it is so relevant to the draft and war… I was in the first lottery and my number was 7 so there was a lot of craziness at that time. I could pretty much relate personally to everything in Crigler’s life! Great Job Sir! You lived it and survived…
