ONE TOUGH MARINE--THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF FIRST SERGEANT DONALD N. HAMBLEN, USMC" is a 14 year-old out-of-print autobiography of an INCREDIBLE Marine! In September 1962, then Staff Sergeant Don Hamblin, during a routine jump with his Pathfinder Platoon of the 1st Recon Company at Camp Pendleton, California, exp[erienced strong winds that drove his parachute into high tension wires. He lost his leg as a result, but remained in the Marines with his unit going through every required exercise and test. In 1965, he volunteered for Vietnam and was assigned to the secret Studies & Observation Group (SOG) working out of DaNang training teams of Vietnamese for secret missions in both North and South Vietnam. He served 30 months in Vietnam and had been wounded twice on 60 missions with his teams. Sergeant Hamblen, at the time this book was written, was the first and only Marine to have gone into combat with a prosthesis.
