Produktbeschreibung
Don Garrett's poetic writing began when he wrote little poems for Birthdays and Christmas cards for his two daughters. As a young boy he was in a hospital Isolation ward with suspected "Scarlet fever", to occupy the time he taught himself how to draw. The writing and drawing skills show that Don is naturally creative. Joining the R.A.F as a boy entrant he served for twelve enjoyable years leaving in 1973. After several jobs and moving around Don eventually settled in the new town of Milton Keynes where he became a married man, two daughters came from the union but divorce took its toll whereupon Don became a security Guard - it was whilst here that the creative skills from his younger days once again surfaced and drawing pictures of Halloween and Father Christmas became a habit. Then the poems began to flow, Don has had two books published and certainly hopes for more to follow as his poems steadily flow.Photograph by Mr Mike JK Leahy

Autorenporträt
Don Garrett served in the United States Marine Corps, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Having as a platoon commander in Vietnam gives him a unique perspective from which to set the record straight regarding the brave Marines with whom he served with, and the hardships they endured together, overseas and home. He hopes by giving a voice to those brave patriots, who are, often unable, to relive their own experiences and stories, now have an opportunity to have their contributions and sacrifices to be appreciated. Don's duties while serving in the Marine Corps, included serving three times as an infantry company commander, two electronic companies, Inspector & Instructor, NROTC duty, guarded President Nixon. His last duty station was with the 5th Marine Amphibious Brigade as the Executive Director of Logistics and then MAB Strategic Planner.
