Once A Marine: Iraq Tank Commander Nick Popaditch’s Memoir - Book Trailer Video Added

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Gunny Pop and his wife April. He had given me a copy of his Memoir Once A Marine.

Let me tell you Dollard Nation, once you pick it up, you can’t put it down.

After reading the book, I can’t help but think of the line from the song Amazing Grace: I once was blind but now I see.

When you read this book, you have a better understanding of the complete amount of courage, strength, dedication and sacrifice Gunny Pop and April had put not only to his career in the Marines but also the Marines that continue to need him today.

Without spoilers to the book, Gunny Pop was reassigned. Reassigned by a “Higher Power” to be the support, the rock many others need and will need.

I recommend this book to EVERYONE. Pick it up. Not only will it give you a better understand of what it is like to be a Marine but also, the true meaning of being a Marine. It will put your own life in a different perspective.

Having met the both of them, every page I read hit me harder then the next.

My husband will be retiring from the Marines after 24 years this coming January….he is currently reading it. Those of you just ready to drop into terminal leave…forced or not… I can’t stress to you enough to pick this book up. It just might help you to understand things a little more clearer. There is a reason for everything.

It was released nationally today. You can get your copy from amazon.com
