Description
A new book by Jim Van Straten ’55 is drawn from 352 letters he wrote to his wife, Pat, while deployed in Vietnam, 1966-67. Van Straten had been assigned as the senior medical advisor to the army of the Republic of Vietnam in I Corps, an area close to the demilitarized zone. This excerpt from “A Different Face of War: Memories of a Medical Service Corps Officer in Vietnam” (2015) includes Van Straten’s encounter in Saigon with an old St. Norbert classmate and friend, then Maj. Joe Lutz ’55.
