About this audiobook
Chief Petty Officer James "Patches" Watson was there at the start. One of the first to come out of the famed Underwater Demolition Team 21, he was an initial member—a "plank owner"—of America's deadliest and most elite fighting force, the U.S. Navy SEALs.
Through three tours in the jungle hell of Vietnam, he walked the point—staying alert to trip wires, booby traps, and punji pits, guiding his squad of amphibious fighters on missions of rescue, reconnaissance, and demolition—confronting a war's unique terrors head-on, unprotected . . . and unafraid.
This is the story of a hero told from the heart and from the gut—an authentic tour of duty with one of the most legendary commandoes of the Vietnam War.

I have the honor of living next to John Teggs who is a very quiet professional. He mentioned that his name was in this book and we talked about his time being frogman. What a hard charging group at team 2. I am so proud of Vietnam veterans. My father was a career Marine and I have an uncle that was an instructor for Macv. So much stacked against them that most people don't know a bit about. Thanks Chief Watson for you service and time writing history
