Dear Me (Book) - 11/22/2009 3:48:48 AM
This guy has been through it and his book is the most honest account, (although some fiction added for plot)that I have ever read. What a film Mr Rizzuti's novel would make. I hope he continues writing his memoirs, and I wish him all the luck and prosperity in the world. Gerald J Tate All the best, Gerry

The Second Tour (Book) - 7/16/2008 6:15:54 AM
I have had the pleasure of having a full sneak review of this manuscript, and I'm totally convinced its up there with Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and any other great Nam stories. I am not in the least surprised to find Second Tour has been given a five star rating with Spinetinglers, and I look forward to its release. Mr Rizzuti looks to have pulled something off here that most people can only dream about, and I can only wish him good luck for the future. WELL DONE. Gerald J Tate

Hello, Thanks so much for your comments on my book Bound by Hatred. I have wrote about PTSD in the conclusion of my book In fact this compelled me to write the book more than anything else. It is a very tough one to get through but it seems we both have not allowed defeat! I wish you much success! Shelley Walden

The Redwing Blackbird (Short Story) - 9/2/2008 4:06:14 AM
This story grabbed me and took me right into the horror of the Viet Nam war. Well-written and suspenseful, this story gave me a lot to think about.

Fragments (Short Story) - 8/31/2008 6:12:04 AM
tough stuf--you write it so well

Fragments (Short Story) - 8/30/2008 1:21:34 PM
I'm impressed. This unique at least to those of us who were not there, brings us to see the horror and insanity that is war. If this is but a sample of your book then it should be a raging success. Felix L. Perry

Looney Two-Shoes (Short Story) - 7/4/2008 4:59:20 AM
Sounds like ol' Looney had some street smarts and common sense, two things in short supply now days.

The House (Short Story) - 5/30/2008 5:28:05 AM

Soldier Boy (Short Story) - 4/6/2008 8:03:41 AM
Wow. This is very well done. Unfortunately, it's also so true. The details may be different, but this has happened time after time. I guess that's why you wrote it. I think it could use a better name, but the story is great. Terry

Full Circle (Short Story) - 4/5/2008 2:50:31 PM

The Early Bard Gets The Word (Poetry) - 10/14/2009 1:21:53 PM
Yea I can relate, more than once I have done a poem only to do reviews and find out someone else has came up with almost the same theme and posted it. Great minds and all that... feee

Peace at Death (Poetry) - 9/21/2009 4:41:42 AM
A good write! Vets need to feel at rest assure that they will have peace and be appreciated for their service. Amen

Peace at Death (Poetry) - 2/24/2009 4:04:47 PM
This poem really touched me. I know that I can never put myself into the mind of a veteran, but I have learned that the scars are permanent, wether it be physical or emotional. We must never forget the men and women who courageously fought for our country, and we must never forget their pain, suffering, and trauma. Stop into my den when you have time. I have just written a tribute to Veterans. It is called the Italian American Tribute to Veterans. I think it summarizes my thoughts about veterans and our men and women who served our country. I would love to know your thoughts. As a matter of fact. There is a surprise at the top of the page. I actually mentioned your name in it because you were one of the very first authors on this den back in June who reviewed my work.

I love the snow here in Connecticut, but sometimes we get way too much of it, that we wait for the fierce ball of fire in the sky to melt it all away!

I am familiar with April snow that causes the daffodils to bow to the ground and hide beneath it until the sun awakens them again. Thank you, Terry. Love and peace, Regis

No one, but only those that have been soldiers and looked at death with contempt can express such fine words to a father asking for strength not for help. A great tribute. Georg
