of war Tsegeletos describes the sights, sounds and what is most fascinating,
the thoughts that ran through his mind during each incident.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> An occasional quip added while engaged in
life threatening action, brings to the reader lighthearted relief to what at

At the age of 17, George along with many of his high school
friends joined a Marine reserve unit located close to home. 1950 and half way
around the globe North Korea invaded South Korea, but to these young Marines it
seemed too far away to be of much concern. Looking forward to their graduation,
summer vacation and beginning a new career, whether college or work, their
world is suddenly turned upside down when they are rushed into a very uncertain
military future.
From his first step on North Korean soil through each story
that follows, including the final narrative describing the experience of
survival in the cold frozen environment during the epic Chosin Reservoir
Campaign, you will be taking each step with him. Included are illustrations interspersed between stories and
copies of actual letters sent home. The
book leaves you with a true picture of life in a foxhole as seen through the
eyes of a young Marine. Tsegeletos will hold the readers attention and win the
hearts of all moms with a young son in the U.S. Marines.
Cpl.George H.Tsegeletos was a Marine Reservist in 1950 when

Marine Division, which included the campaign at the Chosin Reservoir, followed
by four other major campaigns and receiving 2 Purple Hearts, George returned
home to begin the new life that was so suddenly interrupted. Born in Chicago of Greek ancestry, at the
start of WWII the family moved to San Francisco when his father had gained
employment in the shipyards. Today George lives with his wife Charlotte in
Sonoma, a small town in the Wine Country of Northern California. Also author of
the non-fiction action/adventure "Under the Sea of Cortez, Early underwater
