For seventeen-year-old high school dropout Jim Bathurst, the Marine Corps’s reputation for making men out of boys was something he desperately needed when he enlisted in March of 1958. What began as a four-year hitch lasted nearly thirty-six years and included an interesting assortment of duty stations and assignments as both enlisted and officer. We’ll All Die As Marines narrates a story about a young, free-spirited kid from Dundalk, Maryland, and how the Corps captured his body, mind, and spirit. Slowly, but persistently, the Corps transformed him into someone whose first love would forever be the United States Marine Corps. It documents not only his leadership, service, and training but also regales many tales of his fellow Marines that will have the reader laughing, cheering, and at times crying. In this memoir, Bathurst reveals that for him—a former DI who was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V”, Purple Heart, and a combat commission to second lieutenant—the Corps was not a job, a career, or even a profession; it was—and still is—a way of life.

SJ and Anja haven’t gone anywhere—at least not physically—but it seems everything has changed. And this is just the beginning. SJ came back to her physically, but as he stared at the sky, he realized that for all he had told her, he may be more emotionally distant than before the war. Maybe not. It wasn’t as clear as the stars were. But no matter where his heart had tried to hide, that is how he felt. And it hurt more than the bullet to his shin. Anja wouldn’t be able to go through that again and still stand. She wouldn’t be able to do that and still breathe. Thump. Living just wasn’t the same without her. God testifies, “Faith doesn’t make things go away. Faith means there is always light, because no one has the power to darken the truest and brightest light, and I will never go away, I will never cower or run from the dark; only I can give you the power to overcome the dark.” We meet again to continue their story—and your story—one that now asks: will SJ and Anja close their hearts and minds to God’s light as life throws seemingly unbearable punches of fear and loss, or will they open their eyes and ears to behold God’s light as the burning fire within victoriously withstands the fiery stings of the enemy?

This is a book about war. A war against America's enemies, against racism, against the loss of fellow warriors in battle, and against the personal loss of family back home. This is the story of Major James Capers, Jr. (USMC Ret.) Jim was born to a family of sharecroppers in South Carolina who escaped to Baltimore, Maryland in the dead of night to escape the days of Jim Crow laws for a better life. Joining the Marines fresh out of high school, Jim had no idea that he was paving the road for future Marines, black and white alike. The first African-American Marine to receive a battlefield commission as a member of 3rd Force Recon, a new special forces unit designed specifically for the war in Vietnam; the first African-American Marine officer used on a Marine recruitment poster; co-leader of the first special forces team to attempt the rescue of American and allied POW's held in a North Vietnamese prison; a leader in Team Broadminded, whose missions were so secret, their military records from Vietnam were not declassified until 2006; nominated for the Medal of Honor; inducted into the Commando Hall of Honor for special forces; awarded the Bronze and the Silver Stars. This book is about a man who is a true American hero, though he denies the notion. Above all, Jim is a husband, a father, a patriot, a warrior who has dealt with the tragedies of his military and personal life, always depending on his faith in God to guide him through the storm.
