Cee-gar Marine's new book

Posted at Free Republic on 8/20/2008 1:17:24 PM by Cee-gar Man US Marine
My name is April Popaditch, wife of Gysgt Nick Popaditch (USMC Ret) AKA Cee-gar Marine to FreeRepublic. This web site was such a source of strength to my family and I when my husband was wounded in Fallujah, Iraq April 2004. The beauty of the words and prayers that we read on a daily basis from all of you will stay in our hearts forever. Military life is a sacrifice but one you never regret. Support from people you've never met, is life affirming and gives us the strength to carry on our new missions in life.
I hear on the news programs people asking where are all the good military stories? I am proud to say that Nick and I have one to share. Our Generals, Congressmen and people who have never known anyone in uniform have embraced "Once A Marine". I am not too savvy on how to cut and paste the book's site into this post, but the website is http://www.onceamarine.com . I hope you get a chance to read it. Nick felt strange at first doing a book until he realized that he was telling a story about more than just himself. We have been in a world with Heroes all around us, in and out of uniform. I hope this book will make you all proud. Thank you again for all your support!
