Million Dollar Bronze Star
In his first book, Million Dollar Bronze Star: A Soldier’s Story of Corruption and Debauchery in Vietnam, Lauer details his time as a U.S. Army soldier overseeing the club system’s finances with the America l Division in the Republic of South Vietnam.
He witnessed scandals and schemes from minor theft to large-scale embezzlement by club managers. Lauer bravely revealed what was happening, ultimately winning the Bronze Star for saving the U.S. Army today’s equivalent of $3.5 million a year.

Incredible story of courage against corruption during a controversial time in our Nation’s history.
Scott M. Dalrymple, Managing Director PGIM Real Estate –
The horrors and atrocities of the Viet Nam war have unfortunately manifested a selective amnesia relating to the brave men and women who followed orders and courageously served our country – Heroes all of them. Bruce Lauer is firmly ensconced in this cohort.
Ernestine Morgan, President and CEO of Morton Plant Mease Healthcare Foundation –
I’ve known Bruce for years and have always been intrigued to hear about his experiences in Vietnam while serving his country. This will make a great movie!
