AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

One Tough Marine : The Biography of First Sergeant Donald N. Hamblen, USMC by Bruce H. Norton and Donald N. Hamblen (1993, Hardcover)

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 supersecret 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. For Donald Hamblen was a true marine who would not quit and repeatedly demonstrated that he had the courage, spirit, and self-determination to overcome all obstacles.
