“No sooner had we scrambled behind the trees, a group of eight to ten North Korean soldiers with flashlights came up the hill to our drop area and spread out looking for us. We stayed low behind the trees and rocks. I’ll bet I was lower to the ground than anyone else. Our team was spread out ten to twenty feet back into the trees and three of the North Korean soldiers were getting closer and closer. “

About the Book
"A US Navy Hospital Corpsman with a US Marine Corps Reconnaissance Patrol Team in the 1950's on covert Korean missions." I could add that "The five missions made by 'Doc Gentry' (assumed name for covert missions) with the Recon Patrols were all successful but, sadly, they suffered casualties on each mission."
