First on the wall the last word on the first American advisors to die in Vietnam
Ray A. Bows (Author)
If you have ever wondered how American involvement began in Vietnam, or why Dale R. Buis and Chester M. Ovnand are the first two names inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial below the date "1959", this book will answer your questions. Master Sergeant Ray Bows, US Army (retired) has dug deeply for the facts and circumstances about these men and explores America's early days in the conflict when Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) personnel were the only U.S. military prescence in an already war-torn land. The book combines personal biography, first-hand accounts, military assessment, documents, and historical facts
