Where Duty Calls: Growing Up in the Marine Corps

By Charlie Romine

He was just 18 years old and had never been away from home, but when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Charlie Romine knew he had to defend the nation he loved. This is the story of an ordinary American who became an extraordinary patriot. This is a factual account of the war in the Pacific as Romine witnessed it. But it is also an amazing ride of emotions that he and the aviation ground support experienced. Terror and fear can often bring on humor and laughter to cope with the horrific realities of battle. Where Duty Calls is strikingly funny and honest -- and it is also brutally realistic.
