Marble Mountain

<p>Marble Mountain presents a personal account of a young man's 1966 combat tour as a Marine helicopter pilot. Of the many books I have read about Vietnam Marble Mountain wins hand down for its raw honesty youthful naivet�� and pure readability.Through riveting imagery Bud Willis finally opens a window of understanding for readers of any age to experience the conflicting drama of one of the most challenging periods of American history. Gripping heart-wrenching and realistic Bud's poignant memoir lingers with the reader well beyond the conclusion of the book with a powerful message that is as relevant today as it was 45 years ago. I thank the author and all of the men of VMO-2 for the patriotism courage and bravery that they demonstrated for future generations. They truly sparkled as shining examples othe Marine Corps's promise of a few good men. This book should be required reading for all Americans and its timing could make it a bestseller.</p><p>Dr. Dianne Sawyer</p><p>American Literature and English Language Instructor</p>
