For the military fans, this one's for you!
This is an amazing story of a young man, Jack Odgen, who comes from wealth, priviledge, and opportunity and makes the selfless act of joining the Marine Corps against his family's wishes. His father tells him never to speak to him again, although his mother and sister do come around. It takes you on the path Jack took through Parris Island for basic training and even to the last of his days and beyond. Through his diary kept at PI, his letters to and from his family, and his family's thoughts, you'll learn of the difficulties new Marines face in training, the hardships of Jack going against his family for what he knew was right, and best of all, what became of that young Marine...and his child.
Overall Rating: A+++
Great story, although it does bring tears at certain moments.
