Luca from Calabria is a biography of a man and his journey from Italy to being a highly decorated U.S. Marine fighting in Vietnam, while not yet a U.S. citizen. Facts lead the reader to ponder and decide whether Sergeant Luca was another heroic soldier nominated for the "Medal of Honor" but rejected because of discrimination. Also through Luca's eyes the reader feels the ordeal of battle, and why stressful trauma is entombed in the minds of survivors forever.
