    An emotional and thought provoking must-read
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 20, 2014*

The Vietnam war, more than anything in recent memory, divided our country and affected a generation of young people.  As Tommy DiMarco says, "a half million kids my age were dancing half-naked in the mud at Woodstock, I was fighting for my life in a VA hospital."But "Finding David" isn't a book that debates the Vietnam war, it doesn't cast blame nor does it wrap itself in self righteous patriotism.  Because Finding David isn't about the war in Vietnam...it is, though, a fitting tribute to the young men who fought there, many of whom came home to that divided nation, scarred, scared,  grossly unappreciated and greatly misunderstood.  Men who fought in America's most unpopular conflict and too often found themselves abandoned by the country and the people they had served.That, on one level, is F. Mark Granato's novel.  And "Finding David" captures that experience through  Tommy DiMarco's battle in Nam and his ongoing struggles back in The States with horrifying reality,  touching dignity and genuine empathy.But that is only one aspect of Granato's remarkable book.  Here, too, is a truly moving story of friendship, brotherhood, love, loyalty and family.  Through realistic, multi-dimensional characters, this author takes the reader beyond Tommy's battle to readjust and gives us a heartwarming tale of childhood friendships, romance and a slice of 1950's, 60's and 70's life.I was never in a war, hence I am no authority on the authenticity of the  conflicts related  in Finding David. I have no experience that could ever compare to what Tommy lives,  neither on the battlefield nor in his long road to recovery.  But, that being said,  perhaps it is  testimony to Granato's writing...he was able to take me, a naive civilian, from  the heat and desperation of Vietnam to an understaffed VA hospital, to the streets where Tommy and David grew up.Please, do not be off-put by the notion that this is a book about war.  Yes, there are scenes, frightening ones, of bloody armed conflict, but that is not where the heart of "Finding David" lies.  "Finding David" traces love, loss and rebuilding.  It is a story of a friendship we all would treasure, of family bonds that are rich and deep.  It is a story of courage and strength, and ultimately forces the characters as well as the reader to examine how we cope with our perception of  life and death...what we hold on to and when to let go.

Two best friends since grade school join the marines out of high school. They are sent to Vietnam and David's body is blown to pieces while his buddy is in a hospital in a coma with some damaged parts undergoing numerous surgeries. The author makes me question the present when he flips between what I thought was the present and flashbacks but at the end I wonder if he remained in the coma dreaming of what could have been. It took three years in that coma before he and david were reunited. What this story and others like it did was make me realize the high price one pays to sacrifice their lives for me and that the government instigating the war will not care for those they are responsible for damaging. Rather they horde them in an institution without appropriate care or they are released back into society and then held accountable for the way they behave. I lived during that time but because I am a female I was not forced to enlist. My heart goes out to those who suffer and their families. My ex-husband's first cousin was a victim. I was never exposed to him but heard about his demons.

    Honor Vietnam Vets

So many times I'd hear that men who fought in Vietnam didn't receive recognition for their service.  They would return home, in some instances, without any thanks, even disgust.This author was able to relate the horrible conditions in which most of these "boys" fought.  Showed how they felt, and how they didn't understand the whole mission themselves.If they were lucky enough to come home, they had to fight inner demons as well as disdain from fellow Americans.My love for our servicemen grew even more after reading this story.
