Joe Galloway wrote:"Under Another Sun is a splendid Vietnam War novel that lay hidden in a bottom drawer for 45 years. It was written by David Lewis and Dana Welch. When it was resurrected Welch could no longer be found. He should surface now to receive accolades!

Take the time to read it carefully; you won't regret it."--Joseph L. Gallowayco-authorWE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE....AND YOUNGWE ARE SOLDIERS STILLTHEY WERE SOLDIERS
