Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes
What does CAPT Kevin F Spalding USNR-Ret bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Kevin Spalding's military background brings a true appreciation for the service of the Marines and the Chaplain Corps during Vietnam. His deliberate reverence for the story is evident, especially during the portions of the story describing combat operations.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It brought back a lot of memories of my time in the Marines, and especially on deployment. The Chaplains that served with the Marines were true lifesavers, and will always hold a special place for me. Any Marine will shed a tear while listening to the selfless service displayed by Father Capodanno.
Any additional comments?
I really liked how thorough the author was in relaying Father Capodanno's life story. It made Father Capodanno larger than life as we see his accomplishments in life spanned far beyond the battlefield.

Kevin Spalding brings to life the stories of the crew of the USS Johnston, and gathered by George Sites. Together they give you a glimpse in time of the life of a Navy ship. They capture the life of a Sailor through his own eyes, regardless of decade or rank, and really gives you a true appreciation for the men that stood the watch day in and day out for our country. I was particularly taken with the stories of the USS Johnston and crew during World War II, and felt like I was really there listening to Kevin Spalding recount the narrative offered by the surviving crew member.
