"My Three Years in the Marine Corps" by Ray Merrell
A Memoir - A war/love story through boot camp, New Caledonia, Bougainville, Emirau, Guam, Okinawa and the Occupation of Japan.
"Back when Pvt. Merrell was living in flooded foxholes, dodging Japanese bullets and waiting for Helen's letters, "Gung Ho" was an expression his outfit used to signify working together. The Marine Raiders, elite units of 10 men, staged clandestine raids and formed the first wave for invasions. Their lives depended on relying on the other guy, working together as a team."
"I read it in two days, so I was right there with you, swatting bugs, crawling thru the mud and wiping the sweat off my forehead."
Pictures of book and more info on my Photos and Albums.
