Living as an English professor in the lively cobblestone houses of Southampton was a dream for many people, but it would soon become the most far-fetched idea my mind could possibly conjure. By soon, I mean right now.

The Nazis, my mind raced as I thought, the bloody Nazis. Of course, if I hadn’t just been drafted, I wouldn’t have to worry about those belligerent fools, but I had been drafted. I had been born again as an Allied soldier by the words on a piece of paper.…

    This book is about 1stSgt. Kasal’s life leading up to his most honorable moment while in the battle of Fallujah. The book starts out by telling how 1stSgt. Kasal grew up in Afton, Iowa. He grew up on farm like most other families in his hometown. But with farming becoming obsolete in the shadow of large corporations, Brad Kasal already knew by junior high that he didn’t want to slave on a farm to barely scrape by like his father. He already had the Marine Corps in his sights. January 1984, Kasal left his hometown of Afton, Iowa and got a plane destined for MCRD, San Diego. Kasal shined right away and became a squad leader and was meritoriously promoted to Private First Class by graduation and instructed that he was going to indeed be a grunt like he wanted.
