About The Author
Hi, Iam
PAUL BLOSE
A MARINE. A WITNESS. A STORYTELLER.
Born on August 17, 1950, in Yonkers, New York, I grew up in a close-knit working-class neighborhood on Saratoga Avenue. Family, faith, hard work, loyalty, and looking out for one another were part of everyday life.
At eighteen, feeling called to a life of discipline and purpose, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. My subsequent deployment to Vietnam forever altered my life, leading me through trials of combat, survival, and profound loss.
Decades later, I made the decision to honor those who didn’t come home by telling the story as it really happened—raw, unfiltered, and from the heart.

My Story
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
