The Making of a Marine, Secret Missions, and a Life of Honor

CHICAGO, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- As the United States continues to engage in its history's longest battle, author Dick Hrebik reveals a behind-the-scenes look at Marine Corps life.  His 23-year career as a Marine provides a platform for not only depicting the making of Marines, but also revealing aspects of the secret missions he was deployed to carry out during the Vietnam War. Windy City Publishers is honored to announce the publication of Corps Vet: More than a Secret Mission... A Lifelong Tour of Duty.  

Dick Hrebik was born to a Czech immigrant family struggling to achieve the American dream. Joining the Marine Corps at age 18 became the beginning of a lifelong tour of duty, as Dick's military career took him on secret missions during the Vietnam War and provided him the opportunity to serve with influential military figures.  This inspiring personal story provides insight into the courage, pride, and grace of soldiers that serve the United States today.

Dick's energy and enthusiasm are inspiring.  For his 75th Birthday he will be hiking Death Valley and climbing Mt. Whitney.  In honor of these events, he will be donating money to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation whose motto is "Honoring Marines By Educating Their Children."  In his spare time Dick enjoys crafting his family wine at Vint Hill Farms in Virginia, which was a former U.S. Army high security listening site.  He resides in Black Diamond Ranch, FL.
