Nathaniel C Fick is the author of the 2005 New York Times bestseller One Bullet Away, recognized as one of the “Best Books of the Year” by The Washington Post.

Not only did he pay for speakers, but Admiral Nimitz gives a party afterward :)
Nathanial Fick is my Marine’s hero. He had to choose between his fiance’s graduation from college and going to see Nathanial. He chose the graduation, but his best friend (also an enlisted Marine), attended and Nathaniel authographed his book, “You made the right choice. Nathaniel Fick” He’s a genuinely charming fellow with a gentle sense of humor.
What a charming story, thank you :)
