Viet Nam Short Stories

Holmen received a JD degree from the University of Minnesota in '75, and entered the private practice of law in St. Cloud, Minnesota as a civil trial attorney for the next twenty four years, retiring in '99 to pursue a business opportunity in Caribbean tourism which boomed before going bust. In the early 90's, he spent a couple of years, part-time, as a graduate student with the Benedictines of St John's School of Theology in nearby Collegeville, Minnesota.

It was then that Holmen first considered a novel about Paul, and the idea festered until he finally put pen to paper a few years ago. Obie has been married to Lynn for nearly forty years, and they have three adult children and one recent grandchild. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Want to Read saving….

Editorial Reviews

The LRRPs of Vietnam Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol were the cavalry scouts of their war, traveling by helicopter rather than mustangs into remote and unfriendly territory. The mountainous jungles of the central highlands were especially inhospitable, filled with snakes and wild animals, and criss crossed with the tributaries of the Ho Chi Minh trail that lay hidden beneath the thick, triple-canopy jungle foliage. It was the job of small teams of LRRPs to penetrate the ridges and valleys of the rainforest to track and identify enemy activity.

These short stories are less about patriotism and heroism than about the gut-wrenching reality for the Vietnam combat soldier. If you're looking for action-adventure, this series is not for you.

Combat soldiers are celebrated for simply doing their best to get by, not as superheroes, but as young men who often acted heroically but sometimes foolishly in circumstances not of their own choosing. One reviewer commented "the bond and the folly of immortal combat ring loud and clear from the page, and the story's told with all the realism, language and pathos of experience.

The opening installment is entitled "Eleven Bravo" and tells the story of a newbie grunt infantryman on a torturous twenty-three day hump through the jungle. With striped face paint and tiger fatigues, four LRRPs creep through the jungle. Cat quiet stealth is their only ally, but with a pair of surprises. The fourth installment is "Chasing After Wind" and explores twists of fate in the context of a barracks poker game, a wind that blows where it will, and a malevolent joker in the deck. The author refers to the series as "autobiographical fiction".

They are based on true incidents, but the stories are told with literary embellishment.
