Although he was only 5'3 and weighed just 110 lbs., Huynh Thanh My was one of the toughest photographers of the Vietnam War. He had a Bachelor of Arts Degree and for several years he carried heavy network news equipment around the battlefield for CBS, until he was lured to AP in 1963 to work as a staff photographer.

In May, 1965, he was wounded by machine gun fire but returned to the front lines as soon as he was released from the hospital. While covering a fight between the Viet Cong and SVN Rangers in the Mekong Delta later that year, Huynh Thanh My was wounded in the chest and arm. As he waited to be evacuated by helicopter, the enemy overran the makeshift aid station and killed the wounded. Nearly the entire Saigon Press Corps marched in Huynh Thanh My's funeral procession to the Mac Dinh Chi cemetary.

Huynh left behind his 19-year-old widow and seven-month-old daughter. His younger brother, Huynh Cong Ut was hired by the AP in 1965 and covered the rest of the war, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1973. Better known as Nick Ut, he now lives in Los Angeles.

Μέσα από το βιβλίο θα φανούν μερικοί να προσφωνούνται με τα μικρά τους ονόματα.Το βιβλίο αυτό δεν έχει σκοπό να ηρωποιήσει όλα αυτά τα παιδιά. Όμως είναι σίγουρο πως σε αυτήν την Ελλάδα, την Ελλάδα της δανεικής χλιδής και της ιστορικής αμνησίας, υπήρξαν κάποιοι Έλληνες που βάδισαν αντίθετα στο ρεύμα, που ξεπερνώντας τον εαυτό τους ξεπέρασαν την ψυχή αυτής ακριβώς της Ελλάδας, που σκοτώθηκαν και τραυματίστηκαν, που ο κόσμος συζήτησε γι΄αυτούς, που το ελεύθερο πέταγμα τους ενσάρκωσε την ιδέα του δυνατού πατριωτισμού και της ελεύθερης τόλμης. Για αυτούς τους Έλληνες θα διαβάσετε, με τις αδυναμίες και τα προτερήματά τους, τις σκέψεις και τις ιδέες τους, τους Έλληνες εθελοντές. Ένας από αυτούς είναι και ο Κυριάκος Καθάριος συγγραφέας του βιβλίου "Το ταξίδι του Εθελοντή" στο οποίο περιγράφει τις μνήμες του από την συμμετοχή του στον πόλεμο της Σερβίας.
