"I was impressed by this compilation of poems depicting the Vietnam War. It was an easy read, compelling and captivating to the point that you can't put it down until you've turned the last page." "A MUST READ, for the families of Veterans of any war who must deal with the residual after affects of war on their loved ones."
Earmon J. Irons Jr., Deacon and Spiritual Advisor

"A Natural Page Turner, I just could'nt put it down." Courtney Holmes,Sgr,USA Ret

"I've heard that writing things down is one of the best therapies for treating PTSD. You have done an excellent job of writing and revealing your inner conflicts. Your book will help others who are suffering form the after affects of traumatic events, and people need to hear your story. You provided the reader with visual clarity and insightful understanding suitable even for those without military experience. Doc, Marines don't die; they just go to Hell to regroup."
Joseph Coates, US Naval Veteran

"In his collection of work entitled ,"I Can Still Hear Their Cries, Even In My Sleep", the author E. Everett McFall, a Purple Heart recipient, discusses his experiences with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through his poetry. He details the causes of the ''scars" in his mind, such as memories of the "eyes of death and dying" and ''the whistling sounds of incoming mortars." In one narrative, McFall describes PTSD as a "valley of despair" and reflects upon the mental anguish and torment.
Throughout the poetry he describes the painful images of the Vietnam War and the suffering experienced by everyone involved as well as camaraderie's created during the war. He includes tips for veterans and their families on coping with stress and depression. This book also contains a veteran's resource guide and directory of National Service Organizations as well as recommended reading materials."
Jean Wahlborg, Editorial Coordinator

"I am a Vietnam veteran, and I thank you for the opportunity to read your manuscript. It made me remember things long masked. It brought back memories and emotions that I had attempted to suppress for over 35 years. I suspect that it took a lot of courage to actually put those thoughts on paper, it was written very well."
Wally Boilek USMC and son Matt, History Student

"Based on my clinical experience, no one walks away from combat without substantial changes (with or without the presence of full blown PTSD). Much of this work reflects experiences that many people can understand. This includes the ongoing problems with disturbing memories, guilt of missing the death of a loved one, and feeling helpless in the face of death. The use of poetry should, in many cases, help people who didn't have a similar experience to better understand the impact of war, in general, and PTSD in particular. Everyone could benefit from reading your poetry."

Dr. Carl Nelson, PHD, Professor of Psychology, IUN

"Superb and brilliantly written. E. Everett McFall has written an open and honest report on his life as a U.S. Marine Corps combat medic and his tour in Vietnam. As a nonmilitary person, I found his book very interesting and informative. I couldn't put it down.
For too long, we as a nation have taken our daily lives, our "Freedoms" for granted. I can't begin to envision the devastating effects of war, however, your book forces deep visualization by the reader. This should be required reading for the Department of Defense! I'm eagerly waiting for the novel to be released.
Bonnie J Hurley, Sociologist


"The words leaped right off of each page, gripping your mind with vivid images frozen in time. As a nation we have taken our freedoms and our daily lives for granted. Freedom is not "FREE", Our military forces have paid the highest price for it, their service and their lives. We need this book, thank you E. Everett McFall and may God bless you."

Mae Scott, Educator-Indiana School System

"I never thought of poetry being "Dynamic, Powerful, Forceful and Gripping," however, after reading - "I Can Still Hear Their Cries, Even In My Sleep" by E. Everett McFall, I was physically drained and exhausted and even somewhat despondent . He took me with him, I felt as if I were walking in his shoes as he experienced life and death in the fields, hills and jungles of Vietnam. I saw the innocent children an heard their anguished pleas, (''Rape") & (''I Can Still Hear Their Cries"). America needs to appreciate the sacrifices of our youthful warriors and what it takes to defend our freedom, ("The Art of the Kill") & ("The Ooorah Warrior")."

Aleatha Holloway, Musician


"United States Marine Corps Medic Ernest McFall reveals here his persistently hostile fear and loathing toward the dark and depressing shadows cast indelibly upon the walls of his inner sanctum by the horrific combat traumas suffered during his valorous service in the Vietnam War.
Through his freeform elegiac verse, delivered in the mode of M-16 rapid-fire staccato bursts, Corpsman McFall takes aim at the still painful and disruptive aftershocks of a demonizing tour of duty in jungle combat zones, fraught with the perils of his steadfast commitment to taking fire, saving lives, and salvaging limbs of his frontline Marine brothers.
Utilizing simple and clear prose, Purple Heart recipient McFall lays bare his perplexing and tortuously convoluted state of mind, wrought upon him as a consequence of post-combat traumatic stress disorder, on a magnitude of 100%. Simper Fedelis my brother Marine."

Terry Austin Hunt/ United States Marine Corps/Sergeant, Vietnam Veteran 1969-1971, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division.


"This author has a chilling affect on readers with his highly charged and emotional use of words. 'I Can Still Hear Their Cries, Even in My Sleep,' is a befitting title. He is fresh, expressive, vivid, and thought provoking. He challenges you to close your eyes as you visually navigate this "passage into the depths of reality of war" and his journey into PTSD.''

Sherry Knox, Clinical Social Worker


"I Can Still Hear Their Cries, Even In My Sleep", by E. Everett McFall is an outstanding portrayal of the deep inner feelings about war and its mental and physical consequences, which resulted in his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The author's words are powerful and absorbing as he describes his despair in dealing with the realities of war and the lifelong healing process which he is experiencing. It gives the novice a much better understanding of PTSD and its effects on the mind and body.
Mr. McFall expresses his feelings with vivid verbal pictures enabling everyone to see though his eyes. This is a book which should be read by all.

Samuel W. Hurley, USAF, WWII Spring, Texas


"Your manuscript of 'I Can Still Hear Their Cries-Even In My Sleep,' made me realize that there are many veterans who returned home physically, but left a part of their soul. Our family lost a loved one in Vietnam, the loss is never-ending.
Those cries that you hear every night, we fervently pray that one day they will be silenced. You did your best "Doc", and America is proud of your service to those in need. Thank you for sharing these tragic times of your life: let those cries be stilled.

Sherril Tokarski, Student, IUN
