This book takes the reader from the emergency formation of a Marine battalion at Camp Pendleton, California, to the battlefields of Vietnam where they slowly honed their war skills before joining the battle on Go Noi Island. Individual Marines describe the events and their feelings in their own words." (Heritage Books review, 2005.)
"Graphic, intense, extremely personal testimony by and about Marines at war...'Every Marine' provides the chronological history, with exacting realism, of one Marine infantry battalion, created as an emergency measure, then thrust unmercifully into the hell that was Southeast Asia in 1968...this accounting of the 'melting pot battalion'...inspires, influences, warms the heart and chills the soul." (Leatherneck Magazine review, Oct. 2005).

ANOTHER NEW BOOK WITH 3/27 TIES ---
CHARLES S. LOFRANO OF LIMA COMPANY HAS WRITTEN
IN SPITE OF IT ALL
Beginning with his insertion onto Go Noi Island as a
replacement for a wounded Company L machine gunner, and culminating with the
healing Vietnam Veterans' Parade in downtown Chicago 18 years later, Chuck
Lofrano has written intimately of his experiences, feelings and his new - found
awareness of life around him. Published by Book Surge Publishing,
the book is available for purchase at
www.amazon.com
A "must read" for all 3/27 Marines, this literary work goes
beyond Chuck's short stay with Lima Co. and his further service with the 7th
Marines. It delves deeply into the author's psyche and his all important
"attitude" about his personal life, his Corps, and his country.
