December 2nd, 1969. That was the day Dan was the most afraid he's ever been.

Drafted into the U.S. Army and shipped to Vietnam, he found himself atop Hill 147 in the jungles of the Phước Long province. Soon, the jungles would erupt with the sound of war. And on that December day, Dan would experience stark terror.
