1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great read for the military buff and especially MarinesBy KugI was recently back east and visited the new Marine Corp Museum and thats when I purchased this book. Now I'm a Marine so I'm prejudiced but my only disappointment in this book was it was and is more historic on the individual Marines decorated for valor and not as personal on the acts they performed. I enjoy reading what men like this have done. The citations are in here but they are so 'perfectly' and 'formally' written they do not do justice to the feats these brave men accomplished. Its a privilege to read about them just wish it was more down to earth.
