Weider History Supports Once A Marine
Armchair General, as part of the Weider History Group, is pleased to annouce we are supporting this outstanding former soldier in announcing his new book, Once A Marine. Nick Popadtich was injured during combat in Fallujah in 2004, losing his eye, most of his vision, and all of his sense of smell. Now he is recounting his journey from Marine tank commander to where he is today. A truly motivational story, and one we feel is worth sharing.

Learn more about Nick's book at the Once A Marine website.
