Dan Rodgers was in college taking pre-med courses, with a possible professional baseball career in the making, and driving his race cars with a desire to get on the NASCAR circuit, when he received his dreaded draft notice. Two days before he married his lovely wife, Sue, he was drafted into the Army. Dan and a few friends were sent to Vietnam on the adventure of a lifetime. Today, Dan is a writer, as well as a race car and jet boat driver. His passions are writing and speed. Dan was a squad leader and sergeant in the Vietnam War. He was directly involved in the Tet Offensive in 1968. At one point during Tet, his company lost 126 men in less than two hours. Dan earned the Silver Star when he and a comrade rescued five soldiers trapped in an Army, armored tank. He was wounded twice and received two Purple Hearts. At one point in Vietnam Dan was asked to become a war correspondent and carry a mini camera. He kept notes on whatever he could find to write on, such as Bibles, scraps of paper and helmet liners. Writing the name, of dead comrades was tough. Dan lives with the pain of losing his personal friends and great soldiers. His wife, Sue, is a testament to his nightly torment as he suffers with nightmares and flashbacks of the war. Writing his book started as an exercise to relieve stress. Dan would present his writings to doctors who in turn suggested that he form a chronological order of events. The book entitled CALL ME SGT. Rock was born. Dan still loves racing his cars and boats but he especially loves the comments he gets from his readers and other authors.
