Dan Evans arrived in Vietnam on October 7, 1968, a 21- year-old Army medic who couldnÂ't stand the sight of blood. Thrust into the cauldron of combat, he soon became a seasoned veteran of emergency medicine and the brutal realties of war. Before his time was up, he would master the skills of a surgeon, acquire the patience of a saint, and demonstrate the courage of a lion.....

His mission: treat the wounded amid the mud, blood and bullets, or die trying. Experience the rage, the sorrow and the remarkable spirit of Dan Evans - the PLATOON MEDIC who became a true American hero.
