PRESS
Lexington author and Johnson County native Robert Adams held a book signing at the Veterans Referral Center on March 30 for his Vietnam tell-all, “Reflections of a Scared Soldier Boy in Vietnam: God, Redlegs and Blueboys.”
Adams said his book, which gives a historical and personal perspective on the day-to-day life and internal struggles of a Vietnam soldier, was written in the hopes that it would help fellow veterans, whether Vietnam or otherwise, cope with their post-war struggles through a sense of camaraderie.
