Experience the pain, the pride, and the triumph of the Marine CorpsAll the members of 1st Lt. James J. Kirschkeâ??s mortar platoon and then rifle platoon knew the stakes: the Marines are Americaâ??s military elite, expected to train harder, fight longer, sacrifice more. Kirschke led by example in the hotly contested zone just south of the DMZ and in the dangerous AnHoa region southwest of DaNang. There Kirschkeâ??s units, with resources stretched to the limit, saw combat almost daily in some of the fiercest fighting of 1966.Sustained through the toughest firefights and bloodiest ambushes, the menâ??s morale proved a testament to Kirschkeâ??s leadership and his dedication to what the U. S. Marines stand for. Those beliefs, and the faith of his men, in turn helped Kirschke through his long recovery after he was wounded by the triple explosion of a box mine rigged to an anti-tank rocket round and a frag grenade. The Marinesâ?? legend and reputation are based on the blood, courage, and discipline of warriors like Jim Kirschke. Sparing no one, he has written a powerful chronicle of the deadly war his Marines fought with valor. | Not Going Home Alone by James Kirschke Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > History > Military History > Military Conflicts P10103, James Kirschke<
