ONE YEAR… OR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
At just twenty years old, Herman “Butch” Peace climbed into a Huey helicopter and flew straight into the heart of the Vietnam War. He was young, fearless, and certain that one year in combat would be just that—one year. What he didn’t know was that the memories, brotherhood, and scars of that year would last a lifetime.
In One Year: Or the Rest of Your Life, Butch takes readers inside the cockpit and into the chaos, courage, and humor that defined the life of a Vietnam helicopter pilot. Told with raw honesty and a wry grin, this is not a history lesson—it’s a front-seat ride through the noise, fear, and absurdity of war. Every page hums with the rhythm of rotor blades and the unbreakable bond between men who trusted each other with everything.
From the brutal heat of the jungle to the bittersweet freedom flight home, Butch captures the heart of a generation that learned too early what it means to grow up—and what it costs to come back.
Through laughter, near-death, and quiet reflection, One Year honors not just the soldiers who served, but the boys they once were. It’s a deeply human story about courage, loss, and the haunting pull of memory.
