Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when a man survives war, only to spend the rest of his life fighting battles no one can see?Battle Hymn of the Disregarded: From Foxholes to Courtrooms, The Lewis Cain Story is the unforgettable true story of a United States Marine who answered his country's call during the earliest days of the Vietnam War and spent the decades that followed fighting for justice, dignity, and recognition.Born into a large family anchored by faith, Lewis Cain learned early that perseverance was not a choice. It was a way of life. That determination carried him through military service in Vietnam, where he witnessed the horrors of combat, endured devastating loss, and returned home carrying wounds that would follow him for the rest of his life.But Vietnam was only the beginning.Years later, Cain discovered that another enemy had been quietly working against him. While stationed at Camp Lejeune, he had been exposed to one of the largest water contamination disasters in American history. As his health declined, he found himself trapped in a maze of bureaucracy, legal battles, denied claims, lost records, and systems that seemed designed to wear veterans down until they gave up.He refused.Through decades of medical struggles, courtroom battles, government paperwork, and personal loss, Lewis Cain remained steadfast, armed with little more than his faith, his records, and the lessons his praying mother taught him long ago.Battle Hymn of the Disregarded is more than a veteran's memoir. It is a powerful testimony of courage, resilience, faith, patriotism, and the relentless pursuit of truth. It shines a light on the experiences of Vietnam veterans, the lasting impact of Camp Lejeune water contamination, PTSD, military service, disability claims, and the human cost of being forgotten by the institutions meant to serve those who sacrificed the most.Written with emotional depth and cinematic storytelling, this inspiring true story will resonate with veterans, military families, history enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever had to fight to have their voice heard.Some battles end when the shooting stops. Others last a lifetime.Lewis Cain is still standing.
