Another Kiawah Author!

I am happy to introduce you to another author who resides on Kiawah Island. His name is Herb Jansen. He is retired from a career working first with Ernst and Young and later with Arthur Anderson. When Herb was 19 years old, he served as an Infantry Sergeant in the U.S. Army and was assigned to Vietnam for a year.

Several years ago, Jansen came across some letters he had written his parents while on his tour of duty. Reading them with curiosity , he realized that these letters did not tell the entire story of what was going on over there at the time. Of course, letters were censored and he did not want to worry his parents more than they already were!!

Reflecting on his time in Vietnam toward the end of the war, Jansen decided that he wanted to tell about those experiences that he left out of his letters. You will learn some things you many not have known about the war, and you will get to know Herb Jansen. Memory does not usually fade when writing about traumatic and dangerous life events. One recent reader posted a review on Goodreads and said the following, “The writing style makes it a quick and easy read, but the content leaves a lot to think about and absorb.”
