Stan Bain served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1968, spending thirteen intense months in Pleiku, Vung Tau, Dong Tam, and Quang Tri. Drafted at a young age, Stan faced the brutal realities of combat, the loss of close friends, and the emotional weight of decisions no soldier should ever be forced to make. After returning home, he built a life and a career but struggled for decades with the unseen wounds of PTSD. Writing became his way of facing the memories that haunted him for more than forty-five years. With the encouragement of fellow veterans, his V.A. counselor, and loved ones, Stan authored You Are Never Alone-a memoir that blends raw honesty, historical insight, and heartfelt reflection. His story sheds light on the lifelong impact of war and offers comfort to veterans who continue to wrestle with their own experiences. Stan lives in Montana, surrounded by family, friends, and the landscapes he has always cherished. He dedicates his work not only to those who served but also to those who continue the journey toward healing.
