I have read a number of such stories and this one is the most entertaining. My congratulations, well done. Might want to give writing a shot you have a gift. Thank you for your Service and may God bless. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rite of Passage *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014* As a grunt during the Vietnam War, we held chopper crews in the highest of esteem - always there when needed and seemingly fearless in their endeavors. I have read dozens of books about these crews and learned more about what they endure during their tours. It was a difficult time! God Bless them all!I read the author's prior book, "We Gotta Get Out of this Place...", a compilation of short stories and events by those who served with Mr. Lazares during his first tour in Vietnam. I enjoyed the story and looked forward to reading "Goodbye, My Darling; Hello Vietnam" as it is more of a memoir of his personal life and experiences. I was not disappointed and immensely enjoyed this new story. The author is witty and writes with humorous overtones; my wife observed me laughing out loud several times.It seemed like Michael had a mischievous streak throughout childhood that continues and follows him through two tours of duty in Vietnam. Helicopter missions were long and stressful and oftentimes filled with surprises. When the day is over, pilots needed to unwind and usually did so at their private Officers Club. Pranks and mischief are common - nobody is immune to these antics, and even though a person is injured at times, the games continue. Booze is rampant, used in a medicinal way so these officers can sleep during the night - unconscious and unaware of their surroundings. My favorite antic is Michael's light switch trick with the commanding officer in the bar - priceless!Mr. Lazares is a skilled pilot, and as a result, oftentimes is assigned to the most dangerous missions. Some of those experiences may take your breath away. Others, may cause tears. I consider myself right there with him in the cockpit, screaming at times, but enjoying the scenery he has painted. Leadership is also questioned...when rotten apples sit at the top of the pile, it endangers all the others. Michael shares his unfortunate experiences with some of these supposed leaders.All in all, I found "Goodbye, My Darling; Hello, Vietnam" humorous, educational and entertaining. I would have given five stars had it not been for the formatting errors and excessive typos, but if you are able to look past this, the book is an easy read and difficult to put down. Welcome Home Sir! Thank you for your service!John Podlaski, authorCherries - A Vietnam War Novel ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hell of a ride *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022* One of the best books on a service mans tour of duty. follow his day to day exploits fRom flying to just having as good of a time as a soldier could, with out getting caught by his higher ups.
