Leaders & Notable People

From Da Nang to Stonewall, Zippo Boys is a story of war and revolution. Dave Lara is a Mexican-American-Jew born in Castroville, California to a poor family of migrant workers. IN 1965, at the age of seventeen, he was emancipated and joined the United States Navy with the hope of avoiding duty in the Vietnam War. Eleven months later he found himself in the jungles of southeast Asia where he discovered he was someone of worth. He met others like himself, young men who faced prison if their truth were told. Dave fell in love only to have the love of his eighteen-year-old life die in his arms on the battlefield. Though he struggled with his homosexuality at first, Dave went on to become a part of the revolution that formed the modern-day gay rights movement.

History

Lara, Dave E

Military

Blackwater was the most notorious private contractor of the Global War on Terror. In this scathing, honest memoir, Morgan Lerette, an Army and Air Force veteran, details the truth of working as a Blackwater operator in Iraq. For eighteen months his days were filled with harrowing danger or mind-numbing tedium. Nights were raunchy parties with a cast of characters and antics to rival the most raucous frat house. Contractors had one goal: survive. Some didn't. For others, like Lerette, Blackwater proved a maturing experience that underscored the inhumanity of war.Writing with deft irony and dark humor, Lerette pulls back the curtain on the Blackwater myth. He reveals a tale that is alternately laugh-out-loud absurd and cry-your-eyes-out sad as he navigates this pivotal chapter in his life and contemporary history. Published by a veterans non-profit, Onward Press. All sales contribute to its mission to help veterans publish their stories.
