Ed tells his story of going from Pointman to Platoon Sgt. and Sniper with the River Raiders of the Mekong Delta. The book also includes the story of Apr. 3, 1969 which garnered Ed a recommendation for the Medal of Honor which is still active.Edgar W. Eaton was raised in small towns in the Pacific Northwest, during what he describes as simpler times. Like many young men, Ed enlisted to serve in the Vietnam War, a decision that changed his life.
After the war, Ed worked in careers as diverse as construction, real estate, gold mining, truck driving, ski Area management, and goldsmithing. He retired to the Oregon coast with his wife.
Ed's decision to tell his story was prompted, in part, by a 2011 History Channel broadcast highlighting his experiences on the night of April 3, 1969. He now speaks to groups on changing one's self for the better, and raises funds for soldiers in overseas combat zones.
