Three War Marine Hero
The first biography of Marine General Raymond Davis, who was decorated for bravery in both WWII and Korea, and went on to serve as a commanding general in Vietnam. This was brought home to me one day while visiting a remote Army firebase in the jungle south of Khe Sanh. "...Ray Davis was a hardened combat veteran.

After a few moments, the general turned and casually remarked, "Dick, this reminds me of a command post I had on Guadalcanal." I mumbled, "Yes, sir," and surreptitiously fingered the safety to the "on" position.
