Synopsis
A Chicago Firefighter's first born son joins the Marine Corps just out of High School. He decides to go "all in" and becomes a machine gunner with the Thundering Third infantry battalion of the 1st Marine Division. The United States is currently involved in two wars. With his chosen military profession, the new grunt is destine to be involved in heavy combat somewhere in the world. At the age of twenty, the young Lance Corporal deploys to the hostile and distant land of Afghanistan. The United States military death toll is at a record high since the inception of "Operation Enduring Freedom". While his son patrols the town of Garmsir in the Helmand Province and fights on the border of Pakistan, Dad writes down his thoughts. This book documents a father's daily concerns and worries during his son's 6 1/2 month (felt like 6 1/2 years) tour of duty on the other side of the globe., Scott has been in the hostile zone for a couple of days now, and we havent heard from him, nor do we expect to hear from him. I check out a website called iCasualties Afghanistan on a daily basis. Most columns in the database simply say not yet reported, so here I sit wondering if Ill have the satisfaction of ever seeing my oldest son alive again. Lance Corporal Scott Nielsen was deployed to Afghanistan as a US Marine machine gunner from April to November of 2010. His father, Mark began keeping a journal to record his thoughts, the news, and the day to day happenings in his life during his sons seven month absence. MY SON: BOY. MAN. MARINE is that journal. It gives us a glimpse into the life of a Marine who is fighting for our nations freedom in a far-off land, and it offers insight into the lives of the families who hold down the fort while waiting for their loved ones to come home.
