Vietnam Veteran • Banker • Author • Advocate for Those Who Served
From the Jungles of Vietnam to the Page
Some stories are too important to stay silent. For Warren Robinson, it took decades — and the gentle encouragement of his wife — to finally put his memories into words.
Warren served with the U.S. First Infantry Division — the legendary "Big Red One" — during the Vietnam War. He witnessed things that shaped him profoundly: the courage of young soldiers, the chaos of combat, the bonds forged under fire, and the quiet grief that followed men home long after the war ended. For years, those memories lived only in him.
It was his wife who first said, "You need to write this down." She was right. What began as a personal reckoning became the Remembering Vietnam series — a tribute to the men and women who served, told with the unflinching honesty of someone who was there.
Forty-One Years in Banking
After returning from Vietnam, Warren built a distinguished career spanning 41 years in banking and finance. He was a professional who understood discipline, precision, and the long game — qualities that served him well both in business and, eventually, in writing.
But numbers and ledgers could never fully contain what he carried. The stories of his fellow soldiers, the landscapes of Southeast Asia, the moral weight of war — these demanded a different kind of accounting. When Warren retired, he finally had the time and the courage to write it all down.
Award-Winning Storytelling
Warren's gift for narrative didn't go unnoticed. His screenplay Last Train to Oakfield earned him the Best Feature Screenplay award from the Los Angeles Film Awards (LAFA) — recognition that his voice, shaped by a lifetime of experience, resonates far beyond the page.
His books carry that same cinematic quality: vivid, emotionally honest, and deeply human. Readers who never served find themselves understanding the Vietnam experience in ways they never expected. Veterans find their own stories reflected back at them with dignity and truth.
A Mission Bigger Than Books
Warren didn't write the Remembering Vietnam series for fame or profit. He wrote it because veterans deserve to be remembered — and because those still living with the wounds of war deserve real support.
