Send us Fan Mail What happens when the funniest military memories also carry the deepest meaning? I’m joined by my friend and fellow Marine, retired Master Gunnery Sergeant Adam Walker, to discuss his self-published book, Laughing and Crying as a U.S. Marine: Authentic Short Stories. Adam shares his five-year writing plan, why he chose self-publishing, and how he made military stories accessible to Marines and their families.
