According to the book description of Vietnam
Veterans' Homecoming: Crossing the Line “is a thoughful and moving account of the impact that the Vietnam
War had on one veteran's life. Medic Carey Spearman's emotional message will resonate in the hearts and souls of each and
every veteran that picks up this book, and enlighten anyone that did not live through the war. Carey Spearman has come
home, and his journey will quickly become the journey of those who read his book. In a sequence of profound meditations, rich
in poetry and deep in spirituality, Spearman draws insights from his experiences as a medic in Vietnam, and as a veteran returning
home. Insights which emphasize not so much the uniqueness of his own encounters and feelings but the mighty common bonds which
unite the courageous men and women who served this country during its longest war.
Crossing the Line, without pretense or political agenda,
reveals page after page that those who fought in Vietnam had to be heroes twice; first in war, and then again as veterans
returning home to a society that all too often failed to appreciate or understand the enormity of their sacrifices on so many
different levels.
