SEMPER FI gives a portrait of a young man and his experiences as an enlisted member of the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. Orville Clubb begins at the beginning with his earliest memories and tells the story right through to his discharge after serving overseas. Born into a poor family brought together by World War II, the writer grew to maturity as a young Marine. As with many young men of this era of similar socioeconomic status, joining the military as an enlisted man was an attractive option that offered a new start of life."This is the story of an American who came from a humble background, who had a great love for his country and who put his life on the line for it. The book explains how the Marine Corps transformed his attitude, self confidence, and personality. It gave him the inspiration to become a successful person and Ph D, a degree that is attained by fewer than three per cent of the American population. If you have no military background this book will inspire you, if you have a military background it will bring back memories of your own service, if you are a Marine, ‘Semper Fi!’."
