Once a Marine Book Trailer, by Nick Popaditch & Mike Steere

The awe-inspiring story of Nick Popaditch, a 15-year Marine trigger-puller tank commander who won the Silver Star. His tanks surrounded Firdos "Saddam" Square in April 2003 and pulled down the hated statue. An AP photo put Nick on the front pages of newspapers around the world as "The Cigar Marine." Nick was critically wounded in Fallujah one year later by an RPG to the head. This is Nick's harrowing story of combat, courage, and recovery.

Nick is the real deal, and he deserves every success after what he has sacrificed. All our wounded warriors deserve the best America can provide.
