Gunner's Glory: Untold Stories of Marine Machine Gunners

by Johnnie M. Clark and Johnnie Clark

Book Overview

They were warriors, trained to fight, dedicated to their country, and determined to win. At Guadalcanal, the Marine Corps' machine gunners took everything the Japanese could throw at them in one of the bloodiest battles of World War II; their position was so hopeless that at one point they were given the go-ahead to surrender.

Marine

Johnnie Clark is my brother, he loved being a Marine and believed in what he was doing. He fought for his country and the people who live here, as do our brave men and women do now, and still some people don't believe in what they are doing. God help each of them understand that without brave men and women like my brother,you wouldn't be free. He still loves his country, the Marines, but most of all he loves and serves His God to the fullest extent. Knowing that with Him all things are possible. Phil.4:13 His life in Viet Nam was lived in this book, no one will ever know the pain, loss and love, unless they experience this first hand in a war...Unless you walk in their shoes, this is the closes you'll get to being there. My prayers are with each one fighting to help keep America free, for those who have already served, those who gave all...

True Life Stories

This was an eye opener on stories untold before. Have read many military books but this was an area machine guns, that I never read about before and the importance and bravery of these men. Well done.

Johnnie Clark does it again!

Gunner's Glory makes you want to hear every Vet's story, because you know that for every one you hear there has to be hundreds more just as amazing. These first hand accounts are a fascinating testimony to the courage of our fighting men and to the faithful God that sustains them. I particularly appreciate Johnnie's writing style. He keeps the book as clean as possible without whitewashing the harsh realities of war. If you haven't read Guns Up! I'd highly recommend it as well.
