On Valentine’s Day 1968, Senior Corpsman HM2 Larry Jo Goss died alongside 10 Marines in a fiery attack from the North Vietnamese Army. For 21 days, his young wife, Marty, was only told that her husband was “MIA” and possibly taken by hostile forces. Desperately hoping and praying that Larry was still alive. Marty waited in agony with their six-month-old daughter, Lori Jo, for the good news that would never come.
In “Kiss Lori for Me: A Vietnam Corpsman’s Sacrifice, His Widow’s Undying Love, and Their Daughter’s Quest to Find the Truth,” Lori Goss-Reaves tells the story of her decades-long search for her father’s comrades and the truth about her father’s death. It would take her two trips to Vietnam and many long conversations with veterans of the battle to finally piece together the puzzle she had been aching to complete her whole life.
