A book for the ages
By Perry M. Smith
Richard Jadick just blew me away with this book. This is much more than a book about saving lives in desperate situtations. It also about creativity, teamwork, leadership, altruism and love for your fellow man. Who should read this book? Anyone interested in military history, in the relationship between the Navy and the Marine Corps, in traumatic care in peace and war, in the realities of intense combat, in combat injuries and their treatment. It is also a must read for anyone considering joining the military or becoming a medical professional. The very best chapters start with chapter 8 and continue on to the end of the book. If you thought Hemingway could write about warfare, you should read what Commander Jadick and his co-author have put together. A modern day classic.

Bravo Surgical Chaplain
By Chaplain Camarda
For the last two days I have been reading this book with gratitude and a much better appreciation of THE HELL we went through and THE HELL the fine Marines, Soldiers and Navy Docs went through. I already knew a lot.I was the Catholic Chaplain assigned to Bravo Surgical from September 2004 until March of 2005. I kept a small green notebook of all the casualties and “angels” I ministered to. There are at least 30 of the men that Dr. Jadick mentions in his book in my little green notebook. I was there with Chaplain Cox when he grieved over LCPL D. Brown. I know the smell of brain matter. The Navy Chaplain Corps has a motto: Vocati ad Servituum which means “Called to Serve”. It truly was a call and an honor to serve in Hell…but as Richard Jadick leads us…it is also a call to serve in Heaven. Those of us who served couldn’t have been anywhere else. At 45 and passed over at least three times, and a Reservist…I did everything to resist going. I not only said, “No.” I said “Hell NO!” Even when I could get out of it, my devotion to God and Country allowed me to answer “yes”. I thank God I made the right choice.Now I know better what the men went through before they got to me, thank God many living.This book is hard to read. However it is a must read. It isn’t political. It simply tells it how it is. If you want the Chaplains point of view in the exact same area google: “Father Ron Camarda” and check out “Best Christmas Ever” and “Father Ron a Year Later”. This article written by Mark Woods for the Florida Times Union on Christmas Day 2005 took presidence over the Jaguars making the playoffs after 6 years.This is truly an amazing book about Stories. Thank You, Thank You, Semper Fi! The men mentioned in this book are embedded in my heart for ever and I don’t care how heavy my heart gets, WE MUST BRING OUR TROOPS HOME and that means MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY, and SPIRITUALLY. There are way too many wounded troops who need support today and tomorrow.Thanks and Praise! Ron Moses Camarda, CHC, USNR-RetParochial Vicar: San Juan del Rio, St. John’s FL

Rich Jadick and his corpsmen are the real deal
By MAG 49 DOC
This is a truly outstanding book which conveys the reality of combat medicine and the dedication of the physicians and corpsmen who accompany the US Marine Corps on the front lines. This should be required reading for every American. The Publishers Weekly review unfortunately missed the entire point of this book with their comment regarding the emphasis placed on each Marine who lost his life in the battle of Fallujah. This book wasn’t written to make money, create fame or make best-sellers lists; it was specifically written to bring attention to and laud each of those Marines and US Navy corpsmen who serve a cause greater than themselves and who gave their lives for their country, their Corps, their fellow Marines and for our Freedom. Semper Fi.
