| staff sergeant peck: Rebuilding Sergeant Peck John Peck, Dava Guerin, Terry Bivens, 2019-05-07 I met Marine Sgt. John Peck, a quadruple amputee who has received a double arm transplant, at Walter Reed in 2017. Today, it was my honor to welcome John (HERO) to the Oval, with his wonderful wife Jessica. He also wrote a book that I highly recommend, Rebuilding Sergeant Peck.—President Donald Trump Marine Sgt. John Peck survived an IED during the War on Terror that left him with a traumatic brain injury, amnesia, and cost him his marriage. He survived another three years later, one that left him with three and a half limbs missing. He’s one of only two living people to survive the flesh-eating fungus he contracted in recovery at Walter Reed, one that left him as a quadruple amputee. And that’s only the beginning of his story. What followed was a recovery nothing short of miraculous. With resilience and the help of advocates like actor and philanthropist Gary Sinise, FOX’s Jennifer Griffin, and Bill O’Reilly, John would use a specialized “Action Trackchair” wheelchair and a newly-built SmartHome to get a third lease on life. In 2016, Peck underwent a groundbreaking bilateral arm transplant, receiving two new arms. To date, the surgery has been successful. Today, Peck is a motivational speaker, a philanthropist for veteran and wounded warrior causes, and is pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a chef with the help of Chef Robert Irvine. From the lessons learned in a difficult childhood and as a homeless teenager, to dealing with depression in recovery, to learning how to chop with another man’s arms, Rebuilding Sergeant Peck is Peck’s account of an honest, visceral, and inspirational story that is truly unique. |
| staff sergeant peck: In the Mind of a Mountie T. M. Scotty Gardiner, 2010 RCMP Superintendent Scotty Gardiner's captivating memoir reveals what truly goes on behind the scenes in local and international criminal and civil investigations - from solving small-town break-ins to busting multi-national drug operations, and from foiling historical coin counterfeiting to making a controversial money-for-bodies deal with serial killer Clifford Olson. IN THE MIND OF A MOUNTIE provides deep insight into the thought processes, self-discipline and integrity required to be an exemplary policeman. There is no LUCK in investigation, Gardiner emphasizes. Instead you must focus on PREPARATION, so you will recognize OPPORTUNITY. With masterful storytelling, Scotty Gardiner's IN THE MIND OF A MOUNTIE brings vividly to life the role of a policeman and investigator in late 20th-century Canadian society. -- ENDORSEMENTS FROM EXPERTS -- A refreshing page-turner as Scotty leads from one crime investigation to the next, while offering shrewd insights into the nature and habits of career criminals and RCMP officers alike. His is a broadly sympathetic view of the human condition, seen through the eyes of a very smart and experienced RCMP officer. - Geoff Machin, MD, PhD, FRCPC, Emeritus Prof. of Pathology, U. of Alberta A remarkably rich and personal memoir, full of stories that illustrate both the routine and complex in police work. The book is also a testament to how a combination of hard work, intellectual imagination, integrity, and self-discipline served Scotty well as a Mountie in postings across this vast country. It is an account of a life's work that needs to be told, especially in these times when the Force seems in disarray and those values compromised. - John McLaren, Emeritus Prof. of Law, U. of Victoria A compelling story told in a most readable manner. Highly recommended for all ages - Scotty's life is the stuff of legends and deserves to be read widely. - Hamish Simpson, former head of Glenlyon School, Pearson College, and Upper Canada College Preparatory School |

| staff sergeant peck: "Rhody Redlegs" Robert Grandchamp, Jane Lancaster, Cynthia Ferguson, 2011-11-08 Formed in 1801 to protect sea captains against attack from the British navy and Barbary Pirates, the Providence Marine Corps of Artillery remains one of the most famed regiments in the U.S. Army. It distinguished itself during the War of 1812, the Dorr Rebellion, and in nearly every major engagement of the Civil War. After assuming the identity of the 103d Field Artillery Regiment of the Rhode Island National Guard, the unit battled amid the carnage of the Western Front in World War I, fought the enemy in the mosquito- infested South Pacific islands during World War II, and weathered the scorching deserts of Iraq in the twenty-first century. Based on extensive primary research and interviews with veterans of the corps, this narrative offers an insider's look at the illustrious regiment in its first full history. |

William H. Warren dedicated his life to compiling the accounts of his comrades in the 17th Connecticut. Many are published here for the first time.

Their story is told here through fascinating firsthand accounts, numerous photographs, including a photographic index of the regiment, and maps by Phil Laino. |

| staff sergeant peck: Vietnam The Way I Saw It Warren D. Welch, 2014-07-16 This book is about the recollections I have of my experiences in the U.S. Army from 1965 to 1968. Many people have written books about their experiences in Vietnam. I wanted to approach the subject from my perspective as a support technician who was there very early in the conflict and never had to experience the effects of incoming Chinese rockets, their base perimeter being penetrated, or the Tet offensive in 1968. Most of my approximately 2,000 slides and pictures from Vietnam got lost during the trials and tribulations of life, and I am left with 100 slides that I had digitized in 2000. I have included over 70 of my best pictures from Hawaii and Vietnam in this book, as well as many stock photos, maps and documents. At 70 years old my memory is not what it once was, but I have tried my best to be factual and not embellish my experiences. Thank you for your interest in my book and I hope you enjoy it. |

| staff sergeant peck: Barinelli's War Eugene Basilici, 2006-04 The Korean War rages in Southeast Asia. Every night the North Koreans hurl themselves against the outnumbered Americans who hold the Pusan Perimeter, and every night the overextended defenders are thinned even more. Into this maelstrom lands Rick Barinelli, a teenager fresh out of Basic and is thrown immediately onto the front line. A natural leader with an innate understanding of combat, he's able to command and hold the all-important Bowling Alley sector. Barinelli's successes on the battlefield earn him quick promotions. The Inchon landing relieves the pressure on Pusan and Barinelli's platoon takes the point for an American offensive. At Hungnam, they're ordered to the rear and reorganized as a reconnaissance company, while the Army's Tenth Corps and First Marine Division advance to the Chinese border. But a quarter-million Chinese secretly infiltrate the mountain passes and surround the Americans with orders to annihilate them all. The only escape route is along a narrow road past the Chosin Reservoir through the Funchilin Pass to Hungnam and safety. The Funchilin must be held. But when Barinelli's company commander suddenly disappears, the survival of over twenty thousand men falls on him. With fewer than two hundred men under his command, Barinelli faces the pressures of leadership in battle. More importantly, he learns of faithlessness and heroism and the inner gauntlet each soldier must pass through to survive. |

| staff sergeant peck: The Fifth Field French L. MacLean, 2013-10-28 Unnamed Graves, a Secret Cemetery, Files Closed to the Public and Stored in The Vault. During World War II, in the North African/Mediterranean and European Theaters of Operation, 96 American soldiers were convicted by Army General Courts-Martial and executed for desertion, murder and rape. Their victims were 26 fellow American soldiers and 71 British, French, Italian, Polish and Algerian civilians. The executions were not ad hoc killings. General Eisenhower, or another theater commander, approved every proceeding, but the Army did not trumpet the crimes. After the war, the Army searched for a suitable site to inter the remains of all 96 men. It chose a plot of land adjacent to – but technically outside of – the World War I American cemetery of Oise-Aisne. The area is separated from the main cemetery by a high stone wall, concealed from view, and is closed to casual visitors. Called Plot E by the staff, others refer to it as The Fifth Field. The judicial files on the 96 were even harder to find – until now. |
