Industry Reviews

"Inspirational anthology, highly recommended for public library collections and personal reading lists." - Midwest Book Review
"Kelly-a former editor of Military History magazine who teaches newswriting at the University of Virginia, and his wife Smyer, a free-lance journalist-are superior storytellers. Their writing is further enhanced by their dogged, in-depth research and their attention to detail. They also are the authors of the Best Little Stories series of history-based books... Proud to be a Marine is an easy, enjoyable, and educational read for Old Salts and non-Marines alike." - Vietnam Veterans of America
"If you want to add yet another sterling volume to a library shelf at home already groaning with Semper Fi lore, buy this one." - The Military Advisor
"Lives up to its title with true tales of men and women of courage, honor, and sacrifice who served in the Marine Corps...highly recommended for public library collections and personal reading lists." - Hill School Alumni Magazine
