Living With Agent Orange: Life and Times of a Marine Vietnam Veteran - Paperback

Living with Agent Orange: Life and Times of a Marine Vietnam Veteran is the true story of George Newkirk, a man shaped by family, service, hardship, and survival.

George grew up in a small coal-mining town in Utah, where he learned early lessons about loyalty, hard work, and never giving up. Those lessons stayed with him when he became a United States Marine and was sent to Vietnam, where he faced the fear, heat, chaos, and uncertainty of war.

But coming home did not mean the battle was over. Years later, the effects of Agent Orange began to change his life in painful and unexpected ways. Heart attacks, diabetes, surgeries, a heart transplant, and personal loss tested him again and again.

This memoir is honest and emotional. It is not just about war. It is about family, brotherhood, betrayal, recovery, and the strength it takes to keep going when life keeps knocking you down.

For veterans, military families, and readers who value real stories of courage, George's story is a reminder that survival is sometimes the greatest victory of all.
