(PRLeap.com) "Memories of a Sea Service Veteran: From Mud to Nucs", a new book by David Bertagnoli, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A vivid, multi-decade journey through the heart of the American military experience, from the rice paddies of Vietnam to the high-tech corridors of the nuclear-age Navy.

In this candid and deeply personal memoir, David Bertagnoli offers a rare, "boots-on-the-ground" perspective of a life shaped by the service. Born an "Army brat" at Fort Dix, Bertagnoli's life was a whirlwind of global assignments before he eventually followed his own path into the military, not as a careerist, but as a young man simply looking to "do his part" during the escalation of the Vietnam War.

"Memories of a Sea Service Veteran" chronicles Bertagnoli's transformation from a struggling college student to a battle-tested Marine infantryman. With gritty detail and a soldier's dark humor, he recounts the intensity of Marine boot camp, the terror of his first ambushes, and the stroke of "pure luck" that allowed him to survive a near-fatal wound in a Vietnamese rice paddy.

Written with the authenticity of someone who has "been there," Bertagnoli's memoir is an unsentimental tribute to the men he served with and a fascinating exploration of how the military defines, and is defined by, the individuals within it.

"Memories of a Sea Service Veteran: From Mud to Nucs" is a 128-page paperback with a retail price of $15.00 (eBook $10.00). The ISBN is 979-8-89978-178-0.
