Three War Marine Hero - General Raymond G. Davis (Camp Richard)(Pevná vazba) - diskuze

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.

"...Ray Davis was a hardened combat veteran. This was brought home to me one day while visiting a remote Army firebase in the jungle south of Khe Sanh. As the two of us strode along the jungle pathway, Davis suddenly stopped and peered intently into the thick green foliage. I suspected danger, brought my rifle up, and slipped off the safety. 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. "Christ," I thought in awe, "I was only two years old at the time of Guadalcanal. This is the old man's third war!" -- Dick Camp, introduction to book
