Twenty-two veterans and soldiers commit suicide everyday.
After serving as an officer in the U.S. Army and fighting in the Vietnam war, Zebedee Ducre, Sr. has been a bootstrap corporate professional for fifty years.
He retired from IBM in 2001 and has owned a consulting company for twenty years. He earned an MBA from Georgia State University and a BS in Mathematics from Southern University, where he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
He has dedicated the last five years to creating a self-help process based on real experiences and a planned-life-approach to living a long life. He is a passionate believer in a family-team or community-team based support for surviving during difficult times in your life.
His memoir walks us through his pre-Vietnam journey (How I learned “how to make war” and create a plan for survival). Then “Live Combat” in Vietnam (How to fight a war and survive). And lastly, his journey back home. Post-Vietnam (How I learned “not to make war” and survive).
“My book would be a success if I can convince just one person that living is a better option.”
-Zebedee Ducre Sr.
