"Still A Marine" - Donald McKenna B Co 1/7 The Book "Still A Marine" will be published, when else but on November 10, 2007 by Amazon. Don was a member of Baker Co from July 1951 until July 1952. The following is taken from the fly leaf of the soon to be published book. What is it about the adventure of becoming and being a Marine that makes it a lifelong experience? This story--fiction--is based on events and real experiences of a single down in the dirt Marine during the Korean War - It is my way of answering that question. This could be any Marine in any war. With a violent war going on all around, these men do not see the big picture with the over-lay maps and arrows. They are, for the most part, men who do not know the philosophies and reasoning of the people who started their war. But what they do on a daily basis is follow Marines with the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on the dungaree jacket. Trust me that is enough. Not one Marine in the history of the Corps will tell you that he gave more to the Marines that it gave back to him. Each of us comes away with a bag full of personal strengths and treasures that we get to keep. This is for all Marines with a story to tell, and for those who did not get the chance. This story is also for their loved ones who want to understand the Marine in their lives
