Garden City, ID, October 30, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Kevin Steger, a loving husband, father, and grandfather who has traveled throughout Europe and Asia and enjoys the outdoors, hunting, hiking, and fishing, has completed his new book, “Cracking the ODs: An American Helicopter Pilot's Story from the Vietnam War”: a compelling account that takes readers inside the mind of the author’s father, a helicopter pilot, while serving in Vietnam.
“US soldiers in the 1960s and 1970s often referred to their daily fatigues as ODs, short for ‘olive drabs,’” writes Dr. Steger. “Those ODs would come back from the cleaners so full of starch they needed to be cracked before they could be worn. [I share my] own experiences, one of which was cracking the ODs, as the son of a US Army helicopter pilot who served multiple tours in Southeast Asia. This work details several of the most harrowing experiences of [my] father while fighting in Vietnam. This work demonstrates the importance of honor, dignity, valor, loyalty, and bravery for bringing about positive outcomes.”
