Pop A Yellow Smoke and other memories by W. Charles Truitt, a vivid story of a United
States Marine in the Vietnam War. Chuck Truitt was a student at Tennessee Temple University, Chattanooga, Tennessee, beloved by faculty and students. The man lives with a burden for others. His deep concern led him back to the work of missions and helping others to trust and follow Christ! I received his book – read it with great interest! Note the pictures and illustrations.

I have known Chuck Truitt for many years and was in correspondence with him while he served on Okinawa. I believe he is a faithful missionary pastor, and has a heart for people… His book will be a source of encouragement to you.

Pop A Yellow Smoke is captivating history of being ‘in country” during the Vietnam War.

Chuck Truitt is a Christian, a missionary, a husband and a father, but he is also a MARINE. These first-person stories are captivating and challenging. There is no doubt in my mind that a student of history, Vietnam, or military conflict of any era will enjoy this book heartily. Chuck Truitt is a man who has stood for his country and for his Lord.
