Author on C-SPAN BOOK TV

Author Nick Popaditch (Once a Marine) will appear on CSPAN's BookTV on Saturday, October 4. It will run twice: 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. EST.

A Silver Star winner and the face for the national HIRE A VET campaign (see right photos), Gunny Pop filmed the Book TV segment with S-SPAN at The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California, in front of more than 300 Marines primarily from 1st Tank Battalion (Nick's former unit.)

A former Marine tank commander who served in Iraq, Gunny Pop talks about his life in the military "as a trigger-puller" and his service in Iraq. He also discusses at length his severe wounding in Fallujah in 2004 and the lengthy recovery process he and his family endured.

His book hits bookstores nationwide and Amazon October 7. Don't miss this one.
