Stan in country, 1969
Welcome to my web page. I have written a very personal primary source book about my brother Sp4 Stanley D. Ross. This is my first book and it was something I thought about doing for a very long time.
With Love Stan: A Soldier's Letters From Vietnam To The World, is a story about my brother and a family trying to cope with the lose of a son, brother, and friend.
My book is a compilation of Stan's letters home to family and friends, recollections from friends he grew up with, the men who served with him in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Charlie Co, 2/3, and quotes from authors, Bernard Edelman,Dear America, Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried, and Michael Lanning, The Only War We Had, who experienced the Vietnam conflict. With Love Stan: gives the reader a true picture of what a "grunts" (Infantryman of the ground) life was like in the the rice paddies and jungle of southeast Asia.
Educators and students will find it a wonderful primary source for studying those turbulent years of our history, the 60s. Where slogans like, "Make Love Not War, America, Love It Or Leave It!" were anthems for the counter culture and silent majority.
I wrote With Love Stan as a tribute not only to my brother but all the brave men and women who fought and died in Vietnam. I have always felt it important to preserve the past by securing artifacts such as letters and photographs, which hold the key to who we are and where we've been.
I hope you'll read Stan's story and share it with others.
