You Are Never Alone is Stan Bain's powerful personal memoir about his time serving in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. Written as both a cathartic exercise and a tribute, this book chronicles his experiences during the war and the profound emotional weight he carried home.
The story centers around the bonds Stan formed with Vietnamese children at a local orphanage — connections forged in one of the darkest periods in modern history. Through warmth, humor, sorrow, and ultimately hope, Stan takes readers through the harrowing realities of war-torn Vietnam while showing the humanity that persists even in times of great suffering.
A Second Edition, covering Vietnam 1967–1968, offers additional insight into the events that shaped Stan's life forever. This is a book about survival — not just physical, but emotional and spiritual. Because you are never truly alone.
