## Resource

These are the appendices of the book, "An American Knight: The Life of Colonel John W. Ripley, USMC" by Norman J. Fulkerson. Here's a playlist with all the parts of the book: https://www.youtube.com/playli... Audible audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0G... 00:00 Intro 01:29 "Jesus, Mary, Get Me There!" by Jeremias Wells 28:08 Col. Ripley Testimony I 1:05:26 Col. Ripley Testimony II A note about pronunciation... the author of the book, Mr. Norman Fulkerson, has decided that we will pronounce the Vietnamese battlefield location names as Col. Ripley himself did, as well as the majority of Vietnam veterans. Hence the prominent "D" in Dong Ha, for example. We feel that these episodes are for an English speaking audience and we are not above how the veterans themselves pronounced these names. God bless!
