Although he left Vietnam, it traveled home with him. Ernie Quist, a Navy Corpsman, adjusts to life after war with the help of friends, some alive, others dead, and learns that no one escaped Vietnam unscathed. A book about the challenges war creates and the rewards that can be mined with hard work, a commitment to growth, and the help of new and old friends.  A Sailor's Story is a satisfying journey from sweltering hospital tents in Southeast Asia to the frigid cold of North Dakota. Join Ernie, Judy, and Casey as they leave the battlefield and try to find happiness at home.
