Alan Marsa sent me this great photo holding my book I co-authored which his father is featured in.
Paul Marsa served in Korea in 1953, most notably at outposts Esther and Dagmar along what was known as the Jamestown Line. Paul served as a machine gunner and was vividly detailed in his experiences. 'We literally cut Chinese in half with machine gun fire' he explained to his son Alan and me. His chapter is title 'Box Me In' which is a military term when you have to call artillery in on your own position. Paul was on these outposts where they would be overrun multiple times by Chiense forces, but they held like Marines. This was a recurring theme in Paul's service in Korea, among many of the veterans I documented. Paul also took part in tearing down bunkers and filling trenches after the armistice was signed on July 27th, 1953 ending the fighting.
Paul was struggling quite a bit with Parkinsons disease but gave a good interview that readers will not be able to put down. Paul unfortunately passed away just a few months after the interview and his son Alan helped me piece the rest of the chapter together. Paul was interned at Arlington National Cemetery, my next trip to D.C. I will be sure to visit my friend.
To keep up with the tradition of the Corps in his family, Alan enlisted in 1978 while in high school and was discharged in 1980. Alan would go to Camp Pendleton just like his father did before shipping to Korea. Alan told me he can't put the book down because it's an absolute page turner, reading a chapter per night before bed. To hear this from a family that's represented in my book is very humbling.

The SR-71 was close to perfect.
After a 480-mile flight from Beale Air Force Base in California, the midnight-black airplane swooped down to about 300 feet above Burbank Tower, less than 30 seconds after its scheduled arrival time of 12 noon.
It made an easy half-roll, then completed two more passes. The parking garage roof where I stood reverberated with cheers, but as the Blackbird came in for its final pass, a hundred feet off the runway, and then pulled up just beyond the tower, the crowd fell silent...
Pilot Ed Yeilding flew the #972.
It was December 1989, and this flyby, a gift to Lockheed employees from Ben Rich, head of Advanced Development Projects (the Skunk Works), marked the beginning of the end of the SR-71.
After much debate in Congress, the Blackbirds were about to be retired.
As the Blackbird was being retired in December 1989, Lockheed asked whether a Blackbird could make some passes over Burbank for the employees who had spent so much time designing and improving the aircraft over the years.
Kelly had been in the hospital for years.
On this day, his chauffeur drove him to Burbank so he could see the last flight of the 972. Ben Rich heard the sonic boom of the airplane he created.
Ben was sitting near him and saw one tear in Kelly’s eyes tears of happiness and joy. My father, Butch Sheffield was also at this event.
