These are a few of the comments from readers on Fallen Angel.

Being a Viet Nam vet myself, I want to tell you how much I appreciated this story. Viet Nam in in 1968 was not the best place in the world to be, especially if you were a grunt marine. 
I hope to see more of your writing. You have a nice, natural style that is is steeped in imagary. You get 10 from me on this one.

Thanks for a great yarn. A little different take on an old topic, told with sensitivity.
Thanks again from someone who was there then.
.....................................................................................................
This is a very powerful story and I really admire the way you've told it. The characters are rich and believable. The interactions between the Captain and his supporters are incredibly moving. In a way, I wish I had come across this story once it was completed, but I've read it from chapter one on, as individual sections. I just can't wait for more than a chapter. I don't know if you are a 'Nam vet or not, it just doesn't matter. This piece has the right feel, it's like I'm back in the late sixties. I don't know where you plan on going with this story, but Godspeed and thank you!

A truly excellent story. An example of some of the finest writing i've seen at storiesonline. Thank you for writing it.
....................................................................................................
Great Story - love happy endings!
.................................................................................................
i enjoyed this story very much u are a talented writer and i hope to read more of your stories.i hope u write more like this one its nice to find an author that doesnt have to pick a twisted subject to write about. keep up the good work
................................................................................................
I'm always tickled by a good mind control story (like yours) where the 
character with the powers *doesn't* go berserk doing all sorts of horrible 
things. It seems that most authors who do those sorts of stories have their 
main character, even the ones who are *supposed* to be heroic, raping women 
(even their sisters and mothers) and doing other horrible things. Bah.
.....................................................................................................

Thank you for that story, it brought some more closure, and feelings that i havent felt in a long time, an epifiny, if u will, it takes a long time to get over something that has been such a part of one's life, Kudos! 
...............................................................................................
I have enjoyed thos story a lot. I hope you will continue to write more for us ro reas.
There was not too much sex in it and more time was spent on the story. Thank you for your story.

Hi Jay,
A good tale, pure fiction? or was it autobiographical? As an englishman we have no history of Nam, but I lived in Australia for a few years and met many seriously damaged guys (psychologically usually) who served there.
Thakns again and keep writing
..................................................................................................
Love it!
Very romantic, if a bit 'over'?????????!
Still, my vote stands.............10 !
..................................................................................................
a wonderful story of making peace and seeing the good in mankind. And marvelouly romantic also. A perfect 10
................................................................................................
Thank you for the exellent story I have enjoyed each chapter immensly and look forward to your next story
Regards
.......................................................................................
Beautiful, poingant and remarkably moving for a tale on this site.
Thank-you Rob ( best wishes to your family!)
................................................................................................. 
A really great story, from a really great writer. Very well done, keep up the good work.
........................................................................................
Jay,
This was a very gratifying story. You took me to the rice paddies of Viet Nam and I held my breath every time the VC passed by.
Thanks for your work.
........................................................................................
Hi, and a happy new year a little late.
Thank you for writing this story, I voted it a 10.
I lokk forward to other stories you may write in the future.
........................................................................................
Fallen Angel, magnificent! Thank you.
........................................................................................
I enjoyed Fallen Angel very much. A story of survival, peace and fulfillment. A short enough "work in progress" with limited characters and timely updates to maintain interest without having to re-read chapters. I look foreward to more of the same.
Thanks.
.......................................................................................
Excellent story. The character developement and plot is very good. I really enjoyed the story, and will look forward to your future work. Keep up the good work.
......................................................................................
My god this was great. I ran throgh every emoution theat the human mind can experience. that takes a great deal of effort on the part of the author. I can only thank you for righting it. Its on my top three list only to be out done by "always loved hre" and thast not finished yet so i never know if it will fall into the #1 spot. Thanks again
...............................................................................................
Jay
Again, thanks for the super story. I hope that lots of people read this story and that they can understand that it was really that way.
I was in Siagon and then up with the Cav for a couple months TDY back in 65-66 when I was in the Army. 
Thanks again
.....................................................................................................
Jay
Thanks for a very realistic and fantastic story. Hope to read more of it soon
.....................................................................................
This story has caused me to remember much that I have tried to bury. Yet at the same time, the love and tenderness has been a healing balm to help deal with the pain of remembering and this is far better than burying emotions and memories. You're story has ministered to my heart and my soul and I am grateful.
.............................................................................................
Hello,
thanks for sharing a touching and very personal story. It was a pleasure to read from beginning to the end.
........................................................................................
Hi Jay,
This is an excellent story. You have combined everything in a very nice way.
I dont have any words to express what I am feeling. I still have a lump in my throat.
Keep up the good work.
.........................................................................................
This is one of the most exciting,moving and wonderful stories that I have ever read. You did a fabulous and masterful job on it. Thank you very much for writing it. I was in the Army for thirty years and it brings back many fond and non fond memories. I hope you have the time to write another one sometime.. It was great!!!!!!!!
..........................................................................................
Unbelieveable. Best I've read in quite a while.
....................................................................................
G'day,Jay Lance,
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your story very much. It has a lot of detail than makes me think it is, or could be, factual. This is one of the reasons why I enjoyed it so much.
Regards,
........................................................................................
A very good story... thank you. My dad was an A-4 pilot and his brother flew helicopters (no idea what type, though) in Vietnam. Both were Marines. I don't believe either of them had to go through situations too terribly similar to the things in your story, though I know my dad had his plane shot out from under him once, and my uncle's helicopter crashed due to mechanical failure, killing everyone on board except for him and one other (he was paralyzed as a result). I think your story may help me to be somewhat closer to both of them as a result of reading it, though, and I just wanted to thank you for that.
.....................................................................................................
Excellent story ! From the way you wrote this I suspect you have some direct knowledge of what went on at that time in our history. I served in the airforce and was involved with keeping the B52's flying that you discribed in the story.........
.....................................................................................................
Just want to say it was great. Thanks
.................................................................................................
A terrific story! Sorry to see it end.
Thanks for the enjoyment of reading it.
...............................................................................................
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for a very well written and interesting story...i will be looking for more of your stories to come and to what you have already written..keep up the great work
....................................................................................................
Very nice story. One of your best, (that I've read), I think. Keep up the good work.
................................................................................................
Hi Jay,
Just a short note to say that I thought this was a great story. I have anticipated each chapter as it it came along.
I have read most of your stories on this site and have enjoyed each one.
Thanks for giving us the upportunity to read your work.
Keep em coming Brother !
..................................................................................................
very god work have anjoyed reading it 
keep the good work
...............................................................................................
great storie!! cant wait for more
..................................................................................................
I do not normally read stories outside of my "set of authors" that I have read for years. They hadnt updated in a few days, so I decided to pick a story and read -- chose yours.
If all stories here were as good as yours, my policy of only staying with "established" authors would be no more. Truthfully, I enjoyed all of it -- I also notice, though, that i had read parts of it before. I read the chapter 1 a few times, at the beginning, but couldnt get a good grasp on the story as he kept slipping in and out of clarity so gave it up. I am glad that I came back.
Just writing to say that, for what its worth, your now on my list of authors =) I do enjoy your story and look forward to any more that you have in the future.
Again -- thanks for the wonderful story.
.......................................................................................................
Many thanks for the good story Jay. Being an old "Brown Water Sailor", I can appreciate some of the situations you described in the story. Thanks for keeping an old veteran entertained.
............................................................................................
Great story, lots of depth and feeling, with a involving plot.
............................................................................................
Very intriguing... great plot so far.
The character development coming along
nicely. I appreciate the attention to 
detail along with mechanics of grammer 
and spelling. Thank you for writing
and posting the story.
....................................................................................................
A fantastic story. Thank you for writing it
.................................................................................................
Hi: 
I think that you wrote a great story.
Keep on
.............................................................................................
Thank you
.............................................................................................
Jay,
A most excellent, and thought provoking tale. It is thoroughly satisfying on many levels.
Thank you for sharing it!
..............................................................................................
Very well written and absorbing.
At the end of Chapter 4 I wondered how you'd end it - it seemed most of the dramatic tension was over, and I feared that the rest wouldn't measure up.
Instead, you wrapped it up neatly with the strongest installment yet. Bravo.
.............................................................................................
Thank you. The story was erotic, but it was also a wonderful drama. Yes, I had tears in many places....again...thank you.
..................................................................................................
Thanks for a great story. I found your characters came to life for me and I enjoyed the story. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to your next work.
....................................................................................................
This was an excellent story, a definite
10 (and I so voted!).
I particularly enjoyed that the story 
had a strong plot and that the sex 
contributed to it, rather than 
obliterated it (I just realized that 
you successfully avoided the Iron Law 
of Bureaucracy: "Form follows function, 
and often obliterates it."; you must 
not be a Bureaucrat I guess).
In any case, keep up the excellent work.
....................................................................................................
awesome, i didn't think i was gonna get into it the first chapter or so, but it was definately worth it.....
......................................................................................................
Thank you! An excellent story. I look forward to reading others you have written!
....................................................................................................
Oustanding work.. brought tears to my eyes... damn...
...................................................................................................
Great Story I really enjoyed this story with good people doing what needs to be done. Good work.
..................................................................................................
wow.
....................................................................................................
I enjoyed your story because it had a story line and didn't evolve into a pure stroke epic.
......................................................................................................
Nice Job!
..................................................................................................
Too close to home. It was well written, but for me, extremely difficult to read.
I think you know what I mean...
............................................................................................
great piece of writing, thanks for sharing it with me
.............................................................................................
Thanks for a wonderful tale. It is work like this that makes Stories Online worthwhile. I have already read some of your other pieces but will now read Wings As Eagles.
What I appreciated was that while you were technically accurate in your descriptions of the war, your characters had realistic feelings. 
I will be looking forward to much more of your work in the future.
............................................................................................
Excellent story Jay. Thanks for taking the time.
.............................................................................................
Thank you.
.............................................................................................
This is such a great story!
..................................................................................................
Great story..Its nice to have a story for a change..and I appreciate your sharing it with us..-
……………………………………………………………….
KEEP WRITING!!!
Thanks for a great story!!!! Ain't much for expressing myself. Best compliment I can give you is to please continue to write.
