About the Book

The US Navy was first established in 1775 and has been built on a rich history of patriotic service ever since. Navy Proud invites you to jump onboard with a seventeen-year-old sailor as he enlists in 1962, around the time the United States begins sending forces to Vietnam.

From boot camp to active service, to his experiences as a veteran after the war, Allen Van Osdol's memoir illustrates what military life is like for the average American. As passionate now about serving his country as he was in his youth, Van Osdol demonstrates not only a fervent desire to fight for what's right but also an ongoing gratitude for those who have given everything they could to ensure modern freedoms.

Whether you're a history buff or a fan of military memoirs, you'll enjoy learning the general ins and outs of Navy life, as well as reading more specific stories about serving on the USS Kitty Hawk. Anchors aweigh, patriots!


About the Author: Semper Fortis-always brave. As a youth, Allen dreams of becoming a sailor fighting fearlessly for his country like the characters he admires on the television programs Navy Log and Victory at Sea. So, at seventeen, when he becomes bored with school, he decides he's more than ready to join the US Navy. The year is 1962, when US troops are starting to be shipped off to Vietnam, and young Allen will soon find out how much he has yet to learn. Good-humoredly insightful, Allen Van Osdol's memoir, Navy Proud, provides a personal glimpse into military service and shares the life lessons a fledgling sailor learned while serving aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. Discover what it feels like to be a veteran, and you might find yourself considering how you can serve your community, too.
