Jared Prewitt - It'll Buff Out

Jared was a Sergeant in the Marine Corps with 1st Battalion 6th Marines based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He joined the Marines in 2004 as Iraq ignited into all-out war. The Battle of Ramadi would forever change Jared’s life and set him down a path of strife and survival. From explosions and gun fights to blood clots and panic attacks, nothing is hopeless. He participated in the Battle of Ramadi (Iraq) as a designated marksman from 2006 to 2007 and as a Squad Leader in the Battle of Garmsir (Afghanistan) in 2008. After being honorably discharged in 2009 having served five years, Jared moved to Colorado and married in 2011. At the age of 30 he survived a serious stroke and details his struggle to overcome and recover both mentally and physically from everything in the past and the stroke itself. He has a bachelor’s in business and a Master’s in writing. From explosions and gun fights to blood clots and panic attacks, nothing is hopeless. Follow him @cold_steel_collective

3/6 - The Battle of Belleau Wood

Decided to read the first 30 pages out of the book "History of The Third Battalion Sixth Regiment, U.S. Marines" by Akers, Mac Ritchie, & Hurlbut, This book goes over the battle of Belleau Wood written by these three lieutenants in 1919 that recorded it on paper as it progressed. The book tells the story in a very candid way but not in a boring way and tells what each Company and the Battalion as a whole did from the time they formed state side to the end of the battle.
