DALLAS - PennZone -- As Vietnam War veterans age, their firsthand stories of sacrifice, courage, and brotherhood risk fading into history. Doyle Glass, historian and author of Swift Sword: The True Story of the Marines of MIKE 3/5 in Vietnam, 4 September 1967, is on a mission to ensure their voices are heard, remembered, and shared with future generations.

Award-winning Swift Sword recounts the gripping true story of the Marines of Mike Company, who faced overwhelming odds in one of the Vietnam War's fiercest battles. Based on 50 interviews with veterans and families, this powerful book captures the raw experiences of these young men who fought bravely in the Que Son Valley of Vietnam. Swift Sword has been an Amazon bestseller for over a year.
