SEEKING THOSE WHO KNEW HIM

Before reading - note to Sijan family - every year Lance's story is required reading in the Drag School Boot Camp Program for troubled youths. Cowboy

A NEW BOOK IN THE MAKING - THEY DESERVE TO BE KNOWN I am Vietnam Era veteran (Navy). Since 2013 I have been collecting records and searching for family or service buddies who knew this individual for a special book. The book will have the stories of about forty-plus Marines, soldiers and airmen [and one nurse] who lost their lives in Vietnam, and some who survived. Though the book will center around the lives of many youths from high schools in Toledo, Ohio, there are others in this work from California, Missouri, Michigan, Rhode Island and elsewhere. Together these stories tell the Vietnam story in a personal way whereby the reader will come TO KNOW these heroes, not just as the soldiers they became, but the youths they were. These stories are not necessarily a collection of remembrances, but my journey to KNOW them, so that you also can know them. If you have any personal information about this individual, who is part of this work, please contact me. Cowboy [email protected]

I too have read the book Into the mouth of the Cat...a few times!...I think of Lt. Sijan quite often...and I also think that if Hollywood made a movie of this man and his many talents and what he went though, most moviegoers would not believe it...to me, he is the very embodiment of what American men should strive to be like...To Lance Peter Sijan, you are one of my heroes! Rest in Peace Sir...
