About the Author Robert Kuhn served in the U.S. Army as an infantry soldier from 1970-1972. Forty years after his tour of duty in Vietnam, Robert wrote his memoir Rucksack Grunt. And then ten years after writing the book, he finally published it in 2021. As a disabled veteran himself, he is a life member of Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), and a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). He is also a Veterans Administration (VA) volunteer driver when health conditions permit. Over the years, Robert has battled some service-connected issues and ailments, at least one of which the VA attributes to agent orange exposure while serving in Vietnam. Among other medals and awards, Robert is the recipient of the Combat Infantryman Badge, as well as the Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medals for meritorious service. Recognizing that the struggles many Veterans go through are similar to his own, he focuses much of his writing on the goal of helping other Veterans by sharing his own personal stories and experiences, hopeful that others may benefit from them. Born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania where he continues to reside today, Robert enjoys his retirement years fishing, sports range target shooting, writing, and his hobby of restoring classic motorcycles.
