  • "Semper Fi" - what else needs to be said?

    Excellent format and comprehensive coverage of the US Marines. I was particularly impressed with the photo content, many of which are rarely seen in histories of the Corps. Great choice for anyone interested in the history of the USMC. I met Col. Chenoweth at I MEF Headquarters in March of '91 after the shooting had stopped. He was a very gracious senior Field Grade officer.
