Publisher's Synopsis
These poetic verses are the culmination of several years of shelved experiences. There was never any intention to publish them, only to coddle the woes of some type of frustration-therapy. There were many times when I thought I would go insane in service to something greater than myself. The altruism of the experience was too much to bear at times. These words scripted with a pen were my only escape; my only salvation from the madness. These are the odes of living ship to shore as part of an amphibious, Marine Corps, infantry unit. It's an environment that will test the measure of any man and push fortitude to its limits. These poems cover the comparable experiences of love and war, and all that lies in between.
