Title: ONCE A MARINE...
Product review: I read this book as soon as it came out back in 1992-1993. Every Marine knows who "Chesty" is (the author's father), but I read the book to know who Lewis Jr. was. I also had the privilege to meet the author at a book signing in Ohio in 1993. My husband and I, both Marine veterans wanted to meet him and have him sign our book. I guess I was really impressed by what he signed, "Thanks for your service." "WHAT?!", I thought. I should be thanking him for HIS service. I was very saddened and dismayed that he killed himself. The horrors of Vietnam really did, in the end, kill him after all. All I can say now is that I hope his family knows that I DID appreciate his service to the Corps. Anyone who picks up this book will appreciate his effort with writing this book.
