Summary: Appreciate the backbone of this wonderful country!
Review: To have a greater appreciation for the stuff that our great country is made of, pick up this book and read. Colonel Fox quickly and smoothly skims through his life experience as a Marine, stopping only to point out some pertinent life lessons learned before moving into the next promotional stage of his career. I'm sure that there are many other great stories of men who have given their all for this country--we are fortunate to have Colonel Fox take the time to outline his personally. Written with great attention to detail without overkill, it will be hard not to finish quickly! It has been a pleasure to know Colonel Fox professionally--he is as real today as he is in the pages of the book he has written. A must read for those who have ever served this country in any form--it will make you proud you did...

Summary: Required Reading for All Marines
Review: Wes Fox's book is the story in hiStory. His style of writing and knowledge gets the reader into the adventure with him, whether it is on the battlefield in Korea or parachuting in Virginia. His descriptions of the battlefield terrain have you knocking the dirt off your trousers and smelling the rot of the jungle.The book really shows the opportunity for a career in the Marine Corps. While every marine is a rifleman by training, there is the opportunity to experience so much more. Some miltary retirees said they did the same thing for 20 years. Col Fox had 43 years of experiences. You follow his career from boot to Colonel of Marines. Each new rank has its own chapter. I was involved in his Staff Sergeant chapter. Wes Fox was my Drill Instructor. The lessons I learned from him have served me well for 46 years. Each chapter has a summary about Lessons Learned. Many of them can be applied to civilian life as well as the military.
