Discuss the book Once a Marine: An Iraq War Tank Commander's Inspirational Memoir of Combat, Courage, and Recovery

We are pleased to announce we have set up a discussion board for the book Once A Marine by Nick Popaditch. This book illustrates how hard our soldiers are fighting in Iraq (and elsewhere), as well as how hard things can be if they get injured. We invite everyone to join our forums to discuss this book, discuss our Wounded Warriors, and if nothing else to say thanks for their service and sacrifice.

1. You can read posts as a guest, but you must register if you’d like to write on our board. Registration takes about a minute, and we collect no personal information other than a valid email address.

2. You can access the discussion by clicking the Once A Marine forum OR you can register and discuss the book at the bottom of this post.

3. We allow free and clear discussions of most any topic on our forum. The basic rule is to use common courtesy. When in doubt, read our rules. Any insults of our troops will be dealt with swiftly. We have a higher standard here than most forums.

You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a comment, or trackback from your own site.

Hello Everyone

My name is Theodore P. Savas, managing director of Savas Beatie LLC. We are the publisher of Nick Popaditch’s fine new book “Once a Marine: An Iraq War Tank Commander’s Inspirational Memoir of Combat, Courage, and Recovery” (October 1, 2008). I don’t think we have ever been as excited to produce a title as we have with this one.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their interest and support of Nick and April. They are wonderful people who have sacrificed a lot, and the fact that they have your respect, love, and best wishes means a lot to everyone associated with this project.

VIDEO BOOK TRAILER: We have exciting news. Within a few days we will be releasing a video book trailer for “Once a Marine.” I just saw the rough cut, and it is wonderful. We will post the link soon so check out http://www.onceamarine.com and http://www.savasbeatie.com to catch it.

SEEING NICK: Nick will be speaking around the country on behalf of his book, our wonderful military, and other important veteran issues. We appreciate your kind support. Check out http://www.onceamarine.com for his schedule, which changes often.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: He he cannot do this alone. Please email or call everyone you know, send them to http://www.onceamarine.com and ask them to get involved to help make this book a success.

If you are so inclined, please do not hesitate to contact radio stations, local newspapers, TV, etc. and tell them to get Nick Popaditch on the air.

This honorable man speaks from his heart, and has an opportunity to communicate from a platform that will send a strong message across our country about things we all care very deeply about: our freedom, our liberty, a strong military, and the care and love and support of our wounded veterans.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,

tps

I wonder where a person from Finland can get a copy of this book the most easy way? Is it Amazon? (they do take a fiew bob extra expecially on books
that are ‘hot’ at the moment)… Maybe through ACG publications?

Any ideas?

Please e-mail me if you know the best way to order this book. It seems to be a great book as otherwize there wouldnt be all this stuff going on
arround it. Looking forward for a good read.

Yours truly,

Nelson Cook,
Helsinki, finland.

i dont know if you do public appearances, but, i would like to
invite you to talk with the greatest marine that I know. he has

and what being an appreciative american is all about. he has
made this organization into the most patriotic place that any
member will understand. he teaches us the loyalty that comes
with being an american. he is a leader that everyone will follow
and i would really love to invite you to speak sometime, so we can
adimire what YOU have done for this country. it would
definately bring more understanding to our membership. you
are truly an american hero. i admire you and now understand.

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks so much for your post. I just called and left you a voicemail. Nick Popaditch will be in East Chicago and Terre Haute, IN in December on his
