So, I recently found out a second member of my old platoon, and a friend of mine has wrote a book (1 of a 2 book deal), and also wrote an article for Soldier of Fortune magazine.
Magazine article:

As for the book, The title is Clear by Fire.
Amazon:

Barnes and Noble:

I've bought it and read it already, and I recommend it (not just because I know the guy). If you like military thrillers then this is a good book for you.

Might have to put it on my wish list.

Awesome article!
I always love hearing these stories.

was 1-508 PIR a part of 4th BDE at that time?

Thank you for the recommendation. These are the type of books I read most often.

Nice article in SOF, well written and engaging- thanks for sharing it Bobby!

Thanks Bobby. Helps us more fully understand the sacrifice.
My favorite line from the article: "he had this huge grin on his face as he rained hate on the jihadists rushing toward my flank."
hmm maybe there's a way for him to earn a premium price on some books my signing a few for us on the RMTW site. I'd buy one.

^^^^^^ X2. I'm in!

I can ask him if he'd do a few. I will see what I can do.

Thanks for the heads up Bobby. I bought the Kindle version and will read it this weekend! Great reading. 8)

So I shared this thread with my buddy the author, here's what he told me.
" call 901-683-9801 and order a copy, I'll sign it before it's shipped out. It's a bookstore called the Booksellers at Laurelwood. I give 10% of each hardcover sale to Alpha Omega Veterans service here in Mtown. That bookstore gives another 10%. That's why it's the only place I sell signed copies."

Bobby, just finished reading. Great read. Hope he does really well with it. I know it is fiction but being a non mil guy I would imagine it is very accurate.
Thanks for the heads up.
