The former enlisted Marines whose stories you will read in this book have a common thread. The common thread is that they became one of the few, the proud, the Marines. They joined and entered the Vietnam war when their country called. They fought and returned home to adjust to normal lives by themselves. These are the life stories, told in their own words, of how Marine Corps vets came home, built families, businesses and are living the American dream today. Many still live their lives today with the same traditions and values taught to them by the Marine Corps and have adjusted after the traumatic experience of a war. Marine Corps values are easy to state as: Honor, Courage, and Commitment. The Marine Corps defines these values in the following way: Honor as demonstrating integrity in all one does, and accepting responsibility and accountability for ones actions. Courage as doing the right thing, in the right way, and for the right reasons. Commitment as devotion to the Corps and ones fellow Marines. All Marines, former and active duty, live and fight under this same creed. Read about these men who left the Corps and the war behind and used this experience as a stepping stone to success and happiness.

The Silver Star–awarded marine chronicles his service in Iraq in this “transcendent memoir of military service and its personal consequences” (Ralph Peters, Lt. Col., ret., author of Looking For Trouble). In April, 2003, an AP photographer captured a striking image seen around the world of Gunny Sergeant Nick Popaditch smoking a victory cigar in his tank, the haunting statue of Saddam Hussein hovering in the background. Though immortalized in that moment as “The Cigar Marine,” Popaditch’s fighting was far from over. The following year, he fought heroically in the battle for Fallujah and suffered grievous head wounds that left him legally blind and partially deaf. But he faced the toughest fight of his life when he returned home: the battle to remain the man and Marine he was. At first, Nick fights to get back to where he was in Iraq-in the cupola of an M1A1 main battle tank, leading Marines in combat. As the seriousness and permanence of his disabilities become more evident, Nick fights to remain in the Corps in any capacity and help his brothers in arms. Then, following a medical retirement, he battles for rightful recognition and compensation for his disabilities. Throughout his harrowing ordeal, Nick fights to maintain his honor and loyalty, waging all these battles the same way—the Marine way—because anything less would be a betrayal of all he holds dear.

A Long-Lost World War I NarrativeOnce A Marine is the true story of the life of a private in the U.S. Marines on the battlefields of Northern France during the First World War. The author, Levi E. Hemrick, did not set down his narrative until nearly 50 years after the somber, bloody, exhausting and at times hilarious event he describes. Blessed with the vivid, selective memory of an artist and a half century of gestation, Hemrick penned a memoir that was a skillfully blended admixture of prosaic fact and deeply pondered comment. The day-by-day incidents of almost forgotten battles are recalled with a purity refined by the passage of time.In this book - the first edition of which is now extremely hard to find - Hemrick did not attempt a strategic assessment of the battles in which he took a valorous part. His is the frankly confessed worm's-eye-view of one private soldier who was unaware of even the most minor tactics of his own platoon. One Man in the TrenchesThe result was a memoir unfettered by any complicated responsibilities or a temptation to rewrite events to justify his own part in them. Hemrick's is the straightforward account of what he himself saw and was called upon to do - first to carry food up to the men in the front line and, later, to bear the wounded to the most forward ambulance position. In the course of these stretcher-bearing duties he received wounds to arm and ear that handicapped him for the rest of his life.Once A Marine may not be history in the wide, all-inclusive sense, but any historian of the Great War would be unwise to ignore a story the veracity of which shines out of every line and which can claim with complete confidence to represent the experiences of the average Boche, Pollu, Tommy and Yank in the trenches long ago.With a new foreword by historian Charles Culbertson - who, as a boy, knew Hemrick and read the original manuscript of Once A Marine - and biographical material, one of the rarest of World War I memoirs is now available for the first time in more than half a century.From Once a Marine"As we moved deeper into this stream of human misery, our men for the first time were brought face to face with the fact that war was a sad business, a costly one whose product was mostly misery and despair, pain and death, a kind of reward only the devil and his kind could want or enjoy." "The Germans were professionals. They didn't expect or believe that the amateur, undisciplined, over-indulged, soft life our boys lived at home, plus absence of training and experience, could or would produce the physical toughness and the will to stand the pain and hardships required of a good fighting soldier. So the Germans waded into the Americans with the confidence of old time professionals expecting to smash and push them aside and get going on their march to Paris. To their surprise, these Americans did not push so easy."

The events of World War II thrust young Marine Corps recruit Ralph T. Eubanks into a world he could not have imagined as a boy growing up on a farm in western Arkansas. This firsthand account of his experiences - based on recollections, research and numerous letters to his family and sweetheart back home - chronicles the tense and uncertain years of his service in the Marines. Eubanks describes his admiration for the traditions and glorious history of the Marine Corps that convinced him to join. We follow the adventures of this young recruit through his weeks of boot camp, intense training as an aviation ordnanceman, service in the Pacific combat zone, marriage to Betty Carty, trials of officer candidate school, preparations and execution of the occupation of Japan, and his eventual return to civilian life. Along the way, the farm boy from Arkansas is transformed into a model soldier who lives the maxim "once a Marine, always a Marine" the rest of his life. This is a rare glimpse into the everyday trials of a World War II Marine during one of our country's most trying periods.
