Made In America, Sold in the Nam (Second Edition)
“Made in America, Sold in the Nam” brings together the writings of more than two dozen Vietnam-era veterans who have never before had the chance to speak their peace. Through diaries, essays, and poems, each contributor brings a unique first-person perspective that will be appreciated by veterans, their families, and historians. Taken together, this book represents the conscience of a nation: patriotic, duty-bound, and mired in a swamp of confusion and pain.

New Second Edition includes material by the spouses, adult children, and other survivors of the war. Made in America, Sold in the Nam is Book #2 in the Reflections of History Series from Modern History Press.

For Viet Nam Vets: an opportunity to verify their experiences against experiences of others leading to validation and perhaps even an airing of their suspicions and fears about themselves. No matter how long it has been, healing is possible.
For Families of the KIA: peace and understanding about the experiences of their loved one and if they have letters from their loved ones, perhaps a way to fill in what could never be spoken.

For Adult Children and Spouses of Vets: empathy for their war experience, in spite of whether or not there has been communication about how it really went down.

For Vets of Recent Conflicts: a shortcut to understanding the overall experience of war and how one copes with its indelible marks. Discover the commonality of those who have endured their time as warriors.

For Society and Generations to come:

. Learn what really happens during a modern military conflict.
. A plea for wisdom in how we deal with other peoples on Earth.
. A chance to break the cycle of doing the same things and hoping for magically different outcomes.

About the Author

Rick Ritter was an outreach counselor and team leader at the Ft. Wayne, Indiana Vet Center from the start of 1980 to the end of 1988. He spent nearly the whole decade working with veterans and their family members from primarily the Viet Nam era, but also from Korea and WWII. For Rick, working with vets and their families for the last 26 years has been an honor and a blessing without which his life would not have been as rich as it has been. It also gave him a periscope view of many people’s lives and that has translated into a solid working knowledge of working with many other traumatized populations over the years with the veterans as the foundation for that other work—it continues today. Rick expects to be a living memorial to those who lost their lives and today he continues to work toward maintaining that commitment in its inherent imperfections.
