This is the story of a Vietnam Vet who becomes a Doctor. The story will take the reader through the experiences of one man's journey through the Beatitudes. It was 5 A.M, the alarm was sounding like a bullhorn going off in his room. Josh looked out his window. Last night he graduated from Med. school and was looking forward to what life had in store, then his mind went back to Vietnam, he could see the rice paddy, hear his men's screaming going through his ears as if it were happening right below him. He was receiving his degree that day and would become the doctor he wished he was when his men were dying in that paddy. Yet he felt a sense of guilt. Why did he survive and some of his men did not?
