All veterans have a story to tell – whether they choose to write a book, tell their story to others either individually or in front of large groups, one thing for certain is that words alone may not paint enough of a picture for others to fully comprehend the experience.

Khalifah, served in Vietnam as an Infantry First Lieutenant with Alpha Company “Redcatchers” 5-12th Infantry, 199th Infantry Brigade, 1969 – 1970. Lt. Khalifah was fortunate in that he was able to capture much of his experiences on film, and then using the photos in a presentation “showing” what it was like to hump the boonies.
