Being nearly ten years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941,
Bernard G. Bowyer soon became fascinated with everything about
World War II. When the U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal in 1942,
Bowyer suddenly knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his
life: become a United States Marine.
Bowyer enlisted at the age of seventeen and soon began a
lifetime adventure. Over twenty-one years, he served at several
stateside duty stations, including South Carolina, California, and
Virginia, and multiple overseas assignments, including Africa,
Japan, and Australia. He served a tour in Vietnam from 1967-1968
where he also was involved in the Tet offensive.
With hard work and determination Bowyer worked his way through
the ranks and retired as a captain in 1970. He subsequently became
affiliated with the Marine Corps League, a veteran's organization
which enabled him to maintain the camaraderie he experienced when
on active duty.
Full of vivid details of Bowyer's experiences in battle, his
relationship with comrades, and his staunch patriotism, Duty,
Honor, and Privilege is the powerful, true story of one man's
fulfillment of a childhood dream to become one of the few-and one
of the proud.
