New York: Ballantine Books, 1993. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 337, [1] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Index. Name in ink on fep. Foreword by Lt. Gen. Herman Nickerson, Jr. USMC (Ret.). “I have been associated with countless service personnel during my lifetime and Sergeant Hamblen tops the list of selfless, dedicated, all-American tough Marines. Words are inadequate to portray his life as fully as he has lived it, but his biography will serve as an inspiration and be a worthy model to be emulated by all who would aspire to be among the few good men—the Marines. As one of the ‘Godfathers’ of the Marine Corps deep reconnaissance, it has been a privilege to have known and served with Woody Hamblen. Semper Fidelis.“—Herman Nickerson, Jr. Sgt. Donald Hamblen was seriously injured on a routine exercise in 1962. And though his leg was amputated six inches below the knee, he fought to stay in the Corps and passed every kind of endurance test. Training other Marines for service in Vietnam in the secret Studies and Observation Group (SOG) in 1965, he trained teams of Vietnamese for clandestine missions in both North and South Vietnam. Wounded twice, he served 30 unbroken months of duty. And as far as is known, he is the first and only Marine to go into combat with a prosthesis. Donald Hamblen repeatedly demonstrated that he had the courage, spirit, and self-determination to overcome all obstacles. Major Bruce H. “Doc” Norton, USMC (Ret.) has been a combat veteran, a career Marine, a military museum director, an military history professor, and is an award-winning author of numerous books on and about the Marines.
