The Condemned Marines - Hardcover

by Jerry Russell Bemley (Author)

The Condemned Marines is a work about a man whose dreams and aspirations were to serve God and country in that order. His objective was to return to the United States and pursue a career in medicine, driven by his mother naming him after a doctor. He was said to have healing powers by his mother. However, after a bout with injury and acquired a middle ear disease, his main bout turned to reestablishing his sanity due to head trauma and the disease of the middle ear, which comes with a lethal dose of vertigo. Within these pages, Bemley knows that you will find some resolve in helping your favorite veteran overcome some of the trials and tribulations that our veterans of foreign wars contend with on a daily basis. That individuals seemed so distant and alienated toward his loved ones has reason to be. He has little or no trust toward anyone because, in his mind, after being betrayed by the ones that he or she entrusted his or her life betray them. Then no one else is worthy of his or her trust. The most important part of returning to a somewhat normal individual torn by war is to have a good support system. Fortunately, Mr. Bemley had these things already in place when he returned to include a doctor and mentor in Washington DC. You won't succeed at first because one must learn to trust again, but never give up on your favorite veteran. The unknown soldier not only lies in a tomb. He also still roams the earth, known only to God because, in some cases, no one really wants to get to know him. They give up on him after he is alienated by war. And as Mr. Bemley says, not all of these veterans work their way back to reality and get to know themselves again and reclaim their identities as he did.
