It was the mid 1960s and America was in turmoil . The Vietnam Conflict was
at the forefront and a young boy arrives at a crossroad and a decision
to make. He chooses the unpopular path of duty to the country that gave
him everything. In battle he would be forced to rapidly mature and
becomes a man who learns to appreciate the life and freedoms he enjoyed
as an American but must also come to terms with his country's sometimes
conflicting role as a world power. He endures the hardships and cruelty
of war only to return to a changed cultural landscape that he and his
fellow veterans face on their arrival. He survives the effects of war and
ostracism by covering them with his own physiological band- aid, but
now as an old man he must tear away the bandages and face the past.
