Product description...

Randy tried to encourage Ben in his current dilemma. “There are circumstances when all we can do is accept our conditions. It’s important to trust in the Lord and have faith that things happen for a reason.” “I’m having a hard time seeing the reason for what’s happening.” “I don’t mean reason from a rational perspective. We have to believe that good can come from bad circumstances,” Randy explained. “Great lessons and strength can come from terrible experiences.” “We are in a perpetual hell and face a moral dilemma. This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where a guy is trapped in a terrifying environment.” “Vietnam is a hall of mirrors. We can’t find an exit, and the images are distorted moral characterizations of ourselves,” Randy agreed. “Well, if things happen for a reason, I wish there was a less traumatic way to learn,” Ben whispered. “Sometimes people learn their greatest lessons from the school of hard knocks.” “But I’ll go crazy before I graduate,” Ben sighed.

Author Information...

Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) is publishing his military service memoir after a forty-year human resources career in manufacturing, higher education and healthcare. He successfully led organizational change and coached individuals to navigate difficult circumstances and rebound as stronger and healthier people. Ben’s life lesson is that although people sometimes don’t select the best path or make wise choices, they can learn from experience and achieve future success. He attributes his military experience for his personal courage to persist in the face of adversity, his professional success, and his personal resilience when confronted by challenging circumstances. Ben’s 13 Moons series fulfills a commitment he made during his tour of duty in Vietnam, where he served as a US Army military policeman. He faced multiple temptations and moral contradictions, and an examination of his behavior led him to question his commitment to his values and faith. Those experiences reshaped his perspective on courage, moral strength, and resilience as he learned lessons that guided him positively through his life’s challenges.
