You will live a life with more impact after reading Tape Breakers and following his advice " -Tom Koos, CEO, Weber-Stephens Products "Just finished and LOVED IT...Wow...Brilliant" -Stephanie Smith, Wife, Mother, Community Leader "Wow So delicately personal and emotionally stirring. I just couldn't put it down " Nancy Christofferson, Marketing Manager "Jim Akers does an extraordinary job in finding an appropriate way to influence and help his audience. I say appropriate because I am usually a bit wary of motivational texts and speeches. I often feel like they lack real substance and lasting inspiration. Rather than giving the reader a short-lived sense of purpose or excitement, Tape Breakers offers real wisdom. The principles and advice in the book prompts readers to evaluate their lives regardless of where they are in their own races. Jim leads readers to a place of understanding and clarity, empowering them to lead impactful lives." -Ben Reidy, Student, University of Washington ""Tape Breakers" is one of the most compelling and impactful (not to steal a phrase from you) reads I have enjoyed in recent time. Jim's ability to tell and send a message is natural. Life as you say is a journey of races-some more difficult than others. A must read." -Bob Milner, CEO, Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands Foreword by Kary Oberbrunner, Author of "Day Job to Dream Job," "The Deeper Path," and "Your Secret Name.""

The Pictures selected are forty-four years old. These are the ones that survived many moves and even a house fire! I have restored them the best I could. They are the best quality possible. 152 Pictures War is not constant blood and guts. For those looking for such, they will not find it here. This book is more to show the humane aspect of a very difficult situation that as very young people, men and women were thrust into. Once there, most of us decided to make the most of it. Not that we didn't face many days and nights in fierce combat. It's just that I didn't stop firing my weapon to take pictures. Too busy trying to stay among the living. The liberal media at the time of the Vietnam War would have everyone believe that we were nothing more than blood thirsty thugs, baby killers, rapists and murderers. This could not be further from the truth as these pictures will try to show. I served in 3rd platoon, Charlie Company, 6th of the 31st, 9th Infantry Division from October 1968 through August 1969…
