Drafted into the Army & now just 10-days from the end of his enlistment, Sergeant Ronald "Goo-Goo" Barrow and his band of 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry soldiers moved swiftly across the Ia Drang Valley of South Vietnam's Central Highlands to Landing Zone X-Ray. It was November 14, 1965, and little did these military patriots know they would soon battle thousands of North Vietnamese enemy combatants in what came to be known as the first major combat engagement of the Vietnam conflict.
THREE DAYS IN HELL chronicles that battle and much more in a first-hand account from one of America's sons. From Vietnam to his tiny farming community in Eastern North Carolina, travel with Sergeant Barrow as he contrasts war with life growing up in the 1940's and '5O's. From innocence to his nation's call to service, Ron's story defines duty, honor, and ultimately the horror of Vietnam ground operations as a soldier grappling with constant death and the persistent fears of warfare.
Listen to his personal story culminating in an event that took place thirty-three years after Vietnam that changed him forever.
