The year was 1969 -- Woodstock, free love, peace marches and war. Life was unpredictable at best, but that didn't stop twenty-year-old Diane Mumper from going after her dream of adventure. Soon to graduate from nursing school, she joined the Army Nurse Corps, and six months later she began her journey. Often comical and frequently cynical, Diane's stories describe her experiences from basic training through duty in one of the most deadly war zones in South Vietnam. Along the way, she faces a truth about herself and the war far different than she ever expected.
About the author
Diane Klutz is a proud Vietnam veteran, nurse, wife, mother, grandmother and author. Keeping to her credence that life itself is an ongoing adventure, she worked and studied her way through undergraduate and graduate school, post-graduate nurse practitioner certification and finally earned her Ph.D. in Nursing at the young age of 59.
Before retiring from her nursing career, Diane practiced as a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and taught graduate and undergraduate nursing courses at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas; Texas Woman's University in Denton and Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi.
Diane's affinity for writing stems from a lifetime of reading and is based on her beliefs that each person has a story just waiting to be told and that real life is frequently stranger than fiction.
