Brian delate memorial day

Following high school, Brian worked in a record store until he was drafted into the U. Army in August However, that was not in the cards. At that time, Brian qualified for Officer Candidate School, but he was more interested in learning a trade. He held this position for six months supporting a man company of helicopter pilots and crews.

The worst part of the patrol duty was the listening posts, where two-man teams would set up approximately yards outside the perimeter to detect enemy insurgent activity. The Viet Cong owned the night and they knew exactly the locations of each perimeter bunker thus enabling much sniper action. In October Brian was infected with ringworms and jungle rot which started at his knees and during the next month spread up to his neck.

It was determined that he became infected due to the herbicide Brian used to eliminate weed growth at their perimeter concertina wire. His condition was untreatable in the field, so he was sent to the Da Nang Hospital for one week where he had a remarkable recovery. Oddly, this duty gave Brian a sense of calmness.

His play, Memorial Day, centers on a Vietnam veteran on the verge of suicide during a Memorial Day celebration.
