Kill Me If You Can, You SOB By CW2 Bobby W. Miller New Edition To Our Book Shelf
Kill Me If You Can, You SOB - is a non-fiction book about the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company at LZ Betty in Phan Thiet, Vietnam that supported the 3d Battalion, 506th Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division. It's a book written by an ordinary soldier about extraordinary soldiers like Lt. Colonel Manuel A. Alves (Black Hawk) and his band of Currahees with the 3-506th (Airborne) Infantry. And men like Chief Warrant Officer Richard Maxwell Arann and Warrant Officer Theodore Vail Thoman with the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company (1968-69). Kill Me If You Can, You SOB is a judicious and penetrating diary of one of America's greatest tragedies--the Vietnam War--and the soldiers who lived and died making it so. While it's illuminating, it's by no means a rah-rah account of the war. This work is a tour de force whose humor and candor is audacious. Simply dealing with the verity of it all makes this possibly one of the best non-fiction works to emerge out of the heartbreak known as the Vietnam War. Warrant Officer Miller served with the 192nd AHC (68-69) he was shot down twice and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal.

Since then, many osteopathic physicians have enjoyed distinguished careers in the Armed Forces and the U.S. Public Health Service.The reminiscences of Dr. Lovy after 30 years of reflection are illuminating especially after attending a number of important reunions. d corroborates the qualities of the Dr. Lovy I have long known. Combat Surgeon is a special gift to many, but to those involved in the war itself whether they were in support or opposed to it. The personal diary of Andrew Lovy, D. O., Battalion Surgeon with the 3-506th (October 1967 - July 1968). In the 375-page (5 3/4" by 8 1/4") book, Dr. Lovy relates in the first person his day-by-day experiences in the Vietnam War.
