Marine autobiography or soldier autobiography?

summer assignment is to read an autobiography about someone important and who has done something to better society.. i was thinking of eleanor roosevelt or jackie kennedy. but then i also thought of maybe a marine? or marine wife autobiography? orr a soldier from one of the world wars ( or any other war) or a female who went under cover as a soldier in one of those wars. or even an autobiography about a spy. something along those lines. any ideas? please!!!! i would really appreciate any autobiographies you could think of.

For a biography of a marine I would recommend Anthony Zinni who was Commandant of the Marine and appointed as Special Envoy to the Middle East by G.W. Bush. His biography is called “Batle Ready”. It is excellent reading.

A soldier’s biography which is good is “It Doesn’t Take a Hero” by Norman Schwartzkopf.

Both these books include their service in Vietnam. Zinni has accounts of Somalia and the status and strength of the Iraqi forces. Schwartzkopf commanded at Grenada and Desert Storm. Zinni replaced Schwartzkopf as CIC Central Command.

Autobiography I shared with you and wanted to take a moment to explain the potentially deadly disease that I spent a few years ago.

It was the year 1981 Sutton Place. The whole of South Central Massachusetts and the Black Stone Valley was hit by a plague of gypsy moth caterpillars. The worst devastation of moths in fifty years, as this plague has decimated the entire region. After months of this pest in the summer heat finally end this misery.

That had used poisons to rid numerous around our house. So if it was the cause of my illness by moths, or various poisons I was not clear. Soon after the caterpillar on the left began to experience horrible headache. Having had very good health before this disaster, I had a doctor to ask what went into a doctor in the area. He said that "all women her age have headaches," and dismissed me. The headaches got worse and I found myself walking through plants during the night and beating my head against the wall in an attempt to relieve pressure.

As a side note, my husband was of German origin and every two years a family willing to make a German picnic meeting at his house. It's our turn. I realized I was too ill to prepare food. So my husband told me to call each and every one of them to cancel the meeting because he had begun the match.

A few days later, a friend and neighbor of the nurse took me to a hospital in Worcester. The emergency doctor told me that after several hours in care, that "my X-rays can and threw it out of my blood." Three days later, when I found I could not lift my head, my husband said, "I guess I'll have to stop work and take you to the doctors. "He called an ophthalmologist. The eye doctor looked at me and said," I do not know what's wrong, but not their eyes. "He called a neurologist, in this building, and when he saw me and quickly had me admitted to hospital.

After examination the doctors told me that my head was five times the normal pressure and the white count was very high. Also, I had uremic poisoning as the nurses removed two or three bags of urine out of my system. Remember doctors to perform a lumbar puncture and awakening – I do not know how long I was out – I just remembered the young doctor sat beside my bed, and sighed, as I wake up, and walked away. While in the hospital, my husband visited me twice, said he "could not tolerate a woman who was sick."

I ended up spending three months in hospital. The neurologist wanted me to go to a rehabilitation hospital, but my husband said, "No, she's back home." I got discharged two days before Christmas. My twins only six at the time and his father did not want to get a Christmas tree, so I insisted. I remember how happy were the that decorated the "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree.

After Christmas, I had a doctor's appointment with the neurologist. My husband had a deep distrust of doctors and I tried to see the doctors told me "I was a selfish person and the kids did not care if he continued this appointment." He refused to listen to my argument that had to take care of my health and had to go. Took the car, so I could not go, so I asked one of the mothers of child's school to take me to the doctors office. She and her three daughter got picked up me and my boys. At that appointment with my doctor told me to leave and try to impose some self-help. With the assistance of my friend and confidant of my parish pastor, who quickly became involved in numerous voluntary works as described in my autobiography. I, too, began playing golf for the first time in many years, was enjoying life. A year and a half my husband and I the divorce and a year later I was in college and worked part time.

A few years later after meeting and marrying my current husband have decided to receive treatment for some of the residual effects of meningitis, encephalitis, and now is diagnosed fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism. I started with a treatment Steroid pills and shots Cortizone that radically changed my weight. I had always been weight and now I found one to one hundred kilos overweight. Due to the terrible effects side of this treatment, I decided to go natural supplements. The company just launched a consultation first lot of pills to me. But then a colleague university told me about Tahitian Noni Juice. He had just retired from teaching because of terrible arthritic pains in the legs. Now we were working together in the Counseling Center. Noni followed within three months and returned to playing tennis and skiing again. So I felt what I was going to lose myself just walking that needed a cane to walk. In my next article I will write about the changes that occurred because of this fabulous supplement. No doubt CHANGED MY LIFE!
