Infos

The history and lore of the United States Marine Corps are likely unmatched. Steeped in the rich history and tradition of the Corps since its founding in 1775, this book focuses on more recent history, specifically the author's experiences as a young Marine in the 1960s, including his tour of duty in Vietnam. It also includes biographical profiles of more than 100 other Marines who fought in Vietnam or other conflicts. Most of those profiled are Marines with whom the author served or has come to know since his active military service. The 30th Marine Commandant, General Carl Mundy, has written: "e;Few who have borne the title [United States Marine] fail to identify with it throughout their entire lives."e; Marines are, as Shakespeare has written, "e;We few, we happy few, we band ofbrothers."e; And brothers are members of a family. This family is "e;The few. The proud. The Marines."e;
