Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) is publishing his memoir to fulfill a commitment he made during his tour of duty in Vietnam, where he served as a US Army military policeman. Ben faced multiple temptations and moral contradictions, and an examination of his behavior led him to question his commitment to his values and faith. These experiences reshaped his perspective on courage, moral strength, and resilience; as he began to recognize lessons that could guide him positively through life’s challenges. Ben’s lesson is that although people sometimes didn’t select the best path to travel or make wise choices, they always can learn from experience in ways that help them achieve future success. These lessons provided the cornerstone for Ben’s effectiveness and resilience during his forty-year career in Human Resources. Ben successfully led organizational change and coached individuals to navigate difficult circumstances and rebound as stronger and healthier people.
