Video: "Once A Marine"

In a comment on my prior video post on Wounded Warrior Nick Popaditch, Veronica gave a link to a trailer of "Gunny Pop" Nick Popaditch and Mike Steere's book "Once a Marine".


The awe-inspiring story of Nick Popaditch, a 15-year Marine trigger-puller tank commander who won the Silver Star. His tanks surrounded Firdos "Saddam" Square in April 2003 and pulled down the hated statue.

An AP photo put Nick on the front pages of newspapers around the world as "The Cigar Marine." Nick was critically wounded in Fallujah one year later by an RPG to the head. This is Nick's harrowing story of combat, courage, and recovery.


Veronica said he's currently promoting his book around the country at book signings and discussions.

Thanks for the link Veronica.
