Book excerpt: "Vic Edwards, an Ohio farm boy and college drop-out, was seven years older than the average Marine in Vietnam. About to be drafted, he joined the Navy, went to Hospital Corps School, and was later assigned to the Marine Corps. Destination Vietnam. Though the cause seemed noble at the time, he was hardly prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Leaving the nurturing support of family and community, he would face physical, moral, and spiritual challenges on a scale never before experienced. Where there are soldiers, vices follow. Confronted with such temptations in seemingly secure areas, he was confronted with trepidation to do as taught and trained, or to give up and give in to the new situation. His spirit reminded him to be faithful to his family and community and to the creed of the corps, "Simper Fidelis," always faithful to God, country, and the Marine Corps. Vic Edwards takes you with him through the crucible of the Vietnam War as he faces the challenges of battle, the mental and emotional roller coaster of grief and loss, and the spiritual struggles with God's claim on his life. He shares with you the humor and pathos of young men sent to a foreign land to bring stability and peace while his own country is rocked with riot and turmoil." --page [4] of cover

The book tells the story of men at war from a unique perspective; that of a medical specialist assigned to a Marine combat platoon. It is 1969; Hospital Corpsman Mike Lombardo arrives in Vietnam determined to follow in the footsteps of his Dad and Grandfather in war. He quickly discovers there is nothing glamorous or heroic about war. Through Mike's eyes you go on a journey into a living hell and experience the thrills and horror of combat, the agony of the wounded and dead and see foxhole relationships develop between blacks and whites, farm boys and city kids. Experience the anguish, and concern with Mike, when friend after friend is wounded and he knows that their lives are in his hands and then wonders for the rest of his life if he did the right things.

Three months of bagging-and-tagging bodies during Vietnam's Tet Offensive took the luster off of being a Marine'but not off McPartlin's desire to serve his country.After assisting in the sea recovery of Apollo 11?the first ship to bring men to the moon'the twenty-year-old McPartlin was redeployed to Vietnam as an elite Navy SEAL. Barred as a medic from the make-or-break training of BUD/S considered vital to service as a Navy SEAL, McPartlin had to show he had what it took.But McPartlin had been in country before. In a war where you partied with your buddies in Saigon one day and crawled through an enemy-infested jungle hell the next, he proved that he was not only an outstanding medic but a real Navy SEAL'the toughest of the tough.Combat Corpsman is McPartlin's often humorous account of his year in what had been a Viet Cong stronghold until the SEALs took control'and Charlie placed bounties on the ?men with green faces.' It's the first inside story of a Navy SEAL medic, a man who wanted to heal'not to kill'but did both to save lives.'An accurate and humorous account of an early Navy SEAL platoon in Vietnam.'?Frank ThorntonMost Decorated SEAL from Vietnam era

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From Boots to Iwo Jima, A Marine Corpsman's Story in Letters to his Wife 1943-1945", by Sidney L. Landau, describes vividly and in great detail daily life in boot camp and in the battle zones of Guam and Iwo Jima. The letters, discovered after more than half a century, are sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, but always loving. They show the depth of feeling of a man yearning to see his wife and son again, and the comaraderie of fellow "mates" from all walks of life, living and working together. The letters describe visits to native villages and contain sketches and photographs from Guam and Iwo Jima. Included also are pictures of souvenirs and copies of official documents. "Pays homage to those who put their civilian lives on hold and risked their actual lives in combat - none more valiantly than the corpsmen who rescued and treated the wounded on the battlefield. A fascinating account." - George Rathmell, Literary Historian and Author of A Passport to Hell: The Mystery of Richard Realf "A rarity in the field of military memoirs, successfully combining family interest with combat experiences, creating a unified chronicle." - Oscar Kraines, Military Historian and Retired Professor of Constitutional Law "A truly great love story, interspersed with vivid descriptions of life in the Marines, in and out of battle. I felt as if I were there too, experiencing all of the writer's emotions. And with all, the author's sense of humor and eye for detail shine through brilliantly." - Lucille Small Alter, Former New York City Radio Commentator "A story told in a most unique fashion from letters mailed home. It brought back many shared memories, both good and bad, of that period of our lives." - Robert A. Erion, Pharmacist's Mate 1st Class, 3rd battalion, 21st Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division 1944-45

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas's virtuosic Star Corpsman series proves one thing: The Marines are still the toughest sons of guns in the galaxy. As Bravo Company defuses a hostage crisis on an orbiting mining station, Navy Corpsman Elliot "Doc" Carlyle not only saves the lives of a wounded Marine and two extraterrestrial friendlies—he averts a terrorist strike intended to kill billions. His reward? Deployment on a recon mission into the darkest depths known to man. Abyss Deep is a foreboding ocean planet torn by extremes: boiling storm world on one side, unbroken glacier on the other. Humans established a research colony there to study the planet's giant sea serpents—but the colony has gone ominously silent. When Carlyle's team arrives, they discover a vessel belonging to a warlike alien species hovering above the atmosphere. But below the ice lurks a mystery so chilling it will make even Elliot Carlyle's blood run cold.

Book excerpt: In the evening of June 28, 1967, 150 young Americans were sworn into the Marine Corps as part of the pre-game ceremonies of a Minnesota Twins baseball game. Before the end of the fourth inning these volunteers were being hustled on to buses, on their way to boot camp. It was a journey that would take them from a boyhood of baseball in the American heartland to manhood on the killing fields of Vietnam. Christy Sauro was one of the Twins Platoon, and in this book he tells what it was like-from the pomp and ceremony of induction to the all-too-real initiation by fire that would shortly follow: in mere months, he and most of the Twins Platoon were on the ground in Vietnam and promptly faced with some of the toughest fighting of the war, the Siege of Khe Sanh and the Tet Offensive, including the brutal Battle for Hue. From baseball to boot camp to brutal combat, his is a firsthand story of American life being lived at the limits-and changed forever.

Ordinary villagers like Mamasan Tou would set up a security network so the CAP marines could afford the occasional luxury of a nap or a few minutes to write a letter home. The only time a CAP marine left the jungle was when he was rotating home, wounded or dead. Goodson's thirteen-month tour of duty was almost over when he was wounded. He spent several weeks in various hospitals before going home, and facing a whole.
