Mike Holden earned the rank of Staff Sargeant in the U.S. Army in Vietnam at the young age of 22 years old. He started writing a book of his experience and life in Vietnam as a soldier. He did not get to put the finishing touches on his book at the time of his death. His son completed his book two years after his death and the book was published in October, 2025.
