ReviewsYes Sir, Yes Sir, 3 Bags Full! is a deeply rich and personal account of a man's lived experiences in the context of war. Jerry brings us closer to the realities of war through his relationships with those whom he fought side by side with and against. Jerry's book teaches us the power and nature of all relationships. For clinicians, the indications are to invest not only in evidence-based therapies, but also in the healing possibilities of therapeutic and non-therapeutic relationships. Taking this cue from Jerry, as his therapist, the possibilities appeared to be limitless. -Taryn M. Jaramillo, LCSW Trauma Therapist Yes Sir, Yes Sir, 3 Bags Full! captures what living through Viet Nam as a pilot was like with an incredible degree of detail and accuracy-the emotional highs and lows, the boredom and bedlam we all experienced. In reading Jerry's book, I relived the craziness of our performance and ultimate survival. -Bill Healey (Father William) Jerry Hall's vivid descriptions of life in the military during war brings understanding to anyone whose loved one served during a time of crisis. Jerry's incredible journey is one of survival, coping, and trying to make sense of the inhumanity of war. Yes Sir, Yes Sir, 3 Bags Full! is an important look at history and how war impacts those we ask to risk their lives as they struggle with the morality of taking the lives of others. -Patti Frazee, author of Cirkus and Out of Harmony
