Richard D. Preston

Richard Preston served with the United States 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines in Vietnam in 1966 – 1967. His thirty plus year marriage to Nancy (who also served in the US Marine Corps) has blessed them with two daughters and four grandchildren.

Richard’s “boots and all” war stories and poetry, both fact and fiction, are based on his personal experiences and those of his fellow veterans. His strong faith enables him to diversify his writings to include wonderful works of love and grace.
