True war stories [videorecording] : the complete 39-part series / by Mill Creek Entertainment.;
Enter the combat zone and go behind the lines of engagement to hear the true stories of war from the men and women who lived it! Almost twenty years in the making, this insightful series is not the story of a single war but the stories of five generations of warriors, what they had in common and what was unique to their time and mission. These interviews represent a wide variety of branches, service locations, and military roles; collectively, they illuminate the dramatic and ongoing effects of the war on those who participated. Each of these veterans experienced the war in a unique, individual way; no two stories are the same. From the story of the kid from New York trying to comfort his comrades on the deck of his burning ship at Pearl Harbor, to the unflinching courage of an Indiana farm boy, wounded and alone who charged a communist- held hill in Korea to earn the Medal of Honor. Share the story of a young Marine who became a Hollywood star caught in the hell of the TET offensive in Vietnam. Hear the courageous story of a 5 4 female Marine officer leading her men into their first combat operation. Stand in the turret of a burning M1A2 Abrams tank with a career army sergeant as he leads his troop in the first assault through the streets of Baghdad and much more!E.DVD.

Vanguard / by Campbell, Jack(Naval officer);
"Earth is no longer the center of the universe. After the invention of the faster-than-light jump drive, humanity is rapidly establishing new colonies. But the vast distances of space mean that the old order of protection and interstellar law offered by Earth has ceased to exist. When a nearby world attacks, the new colony of Glenlyon turns to Robert Geary, a young former junior fleet officer, and Mele Darcy, a onetime enlisted Marine. With nothing but improvised weapons and a few volunteers, Geary and Darcy must face down warships and armored soldiers--or die trying. As battles rage and pirates take an increasing toll throughout the colonies, the only hope for lasting peace lies with Carmen Ochoa, a "Red" from the anarchic world of Mars, and Lochan Nakamura, a failed politician. They have a plan: to lay the groundwork for mutual defense that could someday grow into an alliance. But if their efforts don't succeed, the growing power of aggressor worlds could turn regions of space founded on freedom into battlefields between the first interstellar empires ..."--
