While in Vietnam, Slater Davis served in Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment in the 11th Light Infantry Brigade of the Americal Division (23rd Infantry) from late 1970 until June of 1971. At that time, he was not aware of the history of Bravo Company, also known as Big Bad Bravo. It wasnt until he began attending company reunions and meeting some of the men who had gone before him, did he get the stirring to write Bravos story...from the perspective of the men who filled the Companys ranks from November, 1967 until June of 1971. This book, In The Shadow Of Heroes, tells that story...from the forming at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii to the final stand down. Mr. Davis writes of the Grunts Life...the struggles, the emotions, the battles, and the sacrifices. His focus is on the grunts, and especially the heroes who never returned home. Please join him in honoring them as you read their story.
