Terry and Joe Murphy would meet again in Pensacola Florida. Terry would go on to earn his Navy wings while Joe would go back to The Basic School, the training ground for Marine Officers, and become an Infantry Platoon Commander. Each one would be introduced to new acquaintances in their assignments, including future Medal of Honor winners. This story is packed with a lot of emotional impact; like the first two books of this trilogy. It takes the reader through the high intrigue days of the Missiles of October, the nuclear standoff between Russia and the United States, and into the skies over Vietnam. Every Chapter crackles with adventure fueled by the individual personalities and the women they are involved with. One feels the authors love for his beloved Corps and the brotherhood he shares with his inner circle of friends.
