Event Type: Adult Program Age Group(s): Adult, High School Age Date: 8/5/2014 Start Time: 6:00 PM End Time: 7:00 PM Description: The day after September 11, 2001, Sean Davis--18 months out of uniform--strode into the Oregon National Guard's recruiting office and reenlisted. When his platoon was torn apart by an ambush, Sean was shipped back to the United States bruised, broken and wracked with guilt.
Library: Downtown Bend Public LibrarySean's book, "The Wax Bullet War: Chronicles of a Soldier & Artist," offers a glimpse into the life of a soldier in the twenty-first century--a life that is in some ways similar and in some ways dramatically different from the life of a soldier returning from the Great War. In his memoir Sean says, "A few events were changed [for the book], but the war stuff is true: we were shot at or mortared every day, many people died, and we helped who we could." This event is free and open to all. No registration is required. *cr* Location: Brooks Room Contact: Tina Walker Davis Contact Number: 541-312-1034 Presenter: Sean Davis Link: Sean Davis, "The Wax Bullet War" |
