Don't forget SOG: The Untold Story of America's Commandos in Vietnam.
Patches of fire by Albert French.
Still the only book to make me cry and one of the best books I ever read.
Its a true story too.
Recently finished this one, I highly recommend it.
The things they carried by Tim O'Brien is probably one of my favorite books
