Charles Fasanaro
Role: Author

One needn’t be a soldier to appreciate the sentiments and emotions captured in Charles Fasanaro’s work on the Vietnam experience, only human. In 1968, Charles Fasanaro interrupted his graduate studies in chemistry to work at training dogs to detect trip wires and land mines. His job took him to Fort Gordon, Georgia where he taught these methods to the 25th Infantry Division, 60th Infantry Platoon, Scout Dog. Because of his friendship and concern for the men he was working with he requested to be sent with them to Vietnam where he served with both Army and Marine units from the DMZ to the Mekong Delta. The poems in this collection are the fruit of that experience.
