Smile On Your Brother - A Family Still Hears The Echoes of Vietnam tells the story of Timothy Fitzmaurice, a 20 -year old Marine who was killed in Vietnam on May 9, 1968, and how his death continues to affect his family and friends more than 45 years later. It is a saga of love, loss, and remembrance, as Tim's family conveys memories of their brother and how their lives were irrevocably changed the tragic day a Marine officer came to their family doorstep to utter the words The Commandant of the Marine Corps regrets to inform you.... Through personal accounts from family, friends, and Tim Fitzmaurice's fellow Marines, Smile On Your Brother takes the reader on an emotional journey of tales of what might have been; of youth lost forever; and new realities of lives lived with grief silently and constantly endured. In the vein of Jill Hunting's Finding Pete - Rediscovering the Brother I Lost in Vietnam, and Glenda Carter's Sacred Shadow, Sacred Ground - A Vietnam War Widow's Journey Through Unresolved Grief, Smile On Your Brother chronicles the lives of Tim Fitzmaurice's loved ones as they reflect on their Vietnam wartime experiences, and the legacy that the conflict left behind, not only for those who bore the devastation of loss, but also for a nation who sacrificed 58,267 of its cherished souls on the bloodied fields of Vietnam.
