I recently had the pleasure of attending an event in which MGySGt. Nick Popaditch, CW4 Michael Durant and Brigadier General Steve Ritchie were the guest speakers. I expected to hear some great stories, which I did. What I didnt expect was the incredible inspiration each one provided. It was called “A day of Heroes”, but they all spent most of the time describing the heroics of others. I was already proud of our service men, but I left with a new understanding of what our guys go through. If you have the opportunity to see anyone of these gentlemen…go for it!!!!!

Nick and I were tankers together at 29 palms. We went on to be Drill Instructors together at MCRD San Diego. We had many good times. Looking back on my Marine Corps career, I can say without a doubt he was one of the finest, dedicated, and professional Marines I ever had the pleasure to serve with. I would love to purchase his book however I will only purchase a copy when it is hand delivered by Nick to me. The pressure is on old friend. Semper Fi

I purchased 2 copies of the book which I read one and sent the other to my son who is a Marine deployed over seas. He thought the book was fantastic, admired Gunny Pop. I thought it was Amazing. I felt that I could relate to many parts of the book and felt heroism for all the men and women who serve our country. They put their lives on the line every minute of every day. I commend Gunny Pop for his bravery and determination to fight for his country and family. Sempi Fi!!

One of our authors, Nick “Gunny Pop” Popaditch (Marine tank commander, Silver Star recipient, combat wounded–only 8 percent vision remaining in his left eye, with the other blown out) was on Fox News Channel (Red Eye late show) this week, and the result has been overwhelmingly positive. You can watch the clip here: http://www.foxnews.com/video-search/m/21814156/once_a_marine.htm#q=red+eye. Funny, quirky show and Nick had a great time. Hope you like it.

Check out this link!

Thanks for all your support of Nick and his family!

As a daughter of a World War II gunnery sargent, the sister of a marine serving in Viet Nam and the mother of 2 Air Force sons (well, we need them too), I will definitely purchase this book. Nick’s spot on Fox’s “Red Eye” brought tears to my eyes and I absolutely love Nick’s Marine Eye! My appreciation and aloha goes out to all Maines. The United States of America will remain strong and free through your sacrifices.

I am a military wife and stand up comedian. My focus is on the inner healing of military wives who go through deployments with thier spouses. I could not put this book down. It is fresh, raw, and truthful. As a wife of a military grunt I recommend this book to all military wives. It is an amazing glimps inside the mind of a warrior. As I read I could so relate to Gunny’s wife and the home enviroment adjusting after war. It is must read for all military families

I went to high school with Nick and have really enjoyed reading his story. He was not quite the nerd he thinks he was in high school. He actually helped me write an English paper while we were in Mr. Titus’ calculus class. He should be extremely proud of himself .

Congratulation on the book’s success and I am so glad he is doing so well otherwise.
