Author Information

My father served as a PFC in the Marine Corps during WW2. His story begins in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in September 1941 with his enlistment in the Marine Corps, and ends in December 1942 at Guadalcanal when the 1st Marine Division was relieved by the Army. It takes the reader through boot camp, advanced training, a voyage to New Zealand for combat training, and into the jungles of Guadalcanal where they fought against the Japanese Empire.As his son, I made it my job to thoroughly research every detail of his story and to back it up with actual dates, facts, and statistics. The book is visually stimulating, entertaining, and educational at the same time. Readers will be moved by his story and gain a great deal of insight about one specific unit of the 1st Marine Division. My father served as a PFC in the Marine Corps during WW2.
