During this country's long and bitter involvement in the Vietnam War, more than two and a half million American men and women served in the U.S. armed forces. In addition to providing conventional army, navy, and air force units, the American military fought Vietcong insurgents and North Vietnamese regulars with Army Special Forces. The Green Berets became synonymous with this country's military presence in South Vietnam. From 1968 to 1969, Daniel H. FitzGibbon, a Columbus, Indiana, native, graduate of West Point, and today an Indianpolis attorney, served as a captain with the Fifth Special Forces Group in South Vietnam. During his time in country, FitzGibbon wrote letters to his parents back home in Columbus about his experiences running two Special Forces A team camps. These letters were saved by FitzGibbon's mother and were given back to the veteran, who typed and copied them for his children so they would know "what Daddy did in the war." "To Bear Any Burden" examines FitzGibbon's war, from his arrival in South Vietnam at the Cam Ranh Bay replacement center on February 6, 1968, to his life as commander of a Special Forces A team based at Ha Tay. After Ha Tay, FitzGibbon took charge of a struggling A team at Duc Lap in South Vietnam's Central Highlands before finally ending up as a staff officer in the operations and training section of the Fifth Special Forces Group headquarters in Nha Trang. The book also details FitzGibbon's subsequent return to Vietnam in 2002 as a tourist with his wife Joan. Reflecting on his trip, FitzGibbon noted that when he sees the word "Vietnam," he no longer thinks of a war or a source of national discord, but "of a real and vibrant country."
