Leo wanted to serve his country, but his parents were devoutly religious and opposed to killing. He didn't share his parents' views, but he respected them, and signed up-at his mother's behest-as a conscientious objector. He was recruited into the elite 101st Airborne as a Combat Medic where he soon saw plenty of combat (and quickly discovered he was not opposed to carrying his trusty M-16). This is the story of Leo \"Doc\" Flory's \"Transition to Duty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this exceptional narrative, Leo \"Doc\" Flory effectively captures the experiences, perspectives and emotions of a young soldier and the events that were to shape his life. Of battles won and friends lost, triumphs and tragedies-and enduring friendships that continue through regular B-Company reunions. In the author's words: \"For the record, this evolved out of a war. A war in every conceivable way you can describe it, not a \"conflict\" or a \"police action\"-as politicians would have it. I hope that these stories will cause you to laugh, cry-and wonder why. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreviously published as \"Transition to Duty\" in 2011, this revised and newly-edited edition includes a postscript by the author and more than 20 additional photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583663431782,"sku":"9781958407141","price":51.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/a9Yh6gMEyS9781958407141.webp?v=1777751424","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/101st-airborne-combat-medic-transition-to-duty-with-the-screaming-eagles-in-vietnam-1968-69-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
