Book Description
Book 1 is a series of stories of my company-grade years beginning with learning to be a Marine Corps officer, then naval aviator. My first squadron experiences include learning to fly the first Marine Corps CH-53, being deployed overseas to Vietnam for my first of three combat tours, which are all described in book 1. The memoir stories contained in this book and a separate book 2 range in intensity from combat conditions during my three tours in the Vietnam War to unique escape-and-evasion-training experiences and to various leadership challenges and achievements, both in command positions as well as Marine Corps Headquarters' assignments, during his twenty-five-year career in the United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Charles Pogany (Pogy), LCpl. Arthur J. Pailes (A. J.), and Sgt. William Whitehurst (Whitey) have had the pleasure and honor to serve alongside Colonel Wemheuer. The three of us proudly represent the enlisted Marines in our Squadron and are proud to say that we flew with Colonel Wemheuer, then a captain, as his crew chief and aerial gunners under numerous intensive combat conditions. His calmness and clear-thinking during combat conditions gave us all the needed confidence in ourselves. The enlisted men held him in the highest respect and esteem. We flew with him with confidence that his experience and superb aviator skills would accomplish our missions and bring us all safely back to base. When we launched on our missions, we knew that the enemy was in for a major and painful demise. Instilled in his leadership traits were the Marine Corps core values of honor, courage, and commitment that made us formidable Marines with a mission. It was an honor to serve with him. Semper fidelis, Sgt. Charles Pogany (Pogy), LCpl. Arthur J. Pailes (A. J.), and Sgt. William Whitehurst (Whitey)

Book Description
Tom Daschle, the Majority Leader of the historic 107th Senate, presents a candid insider’s account of the workings of the U.S. government during two of the most tumultuous years in the nation’s history. The 107th Congress faced a time like no other in the life of the nation. This was the era of the first presidential election to be decided by the United States Supreme Court, the fifty-fifty Senate, the horror of September 11, the anthrax attacks on media and the government (including Daschle’s own office), the war on terrorism, corporate scandals that shook the economy, the inexorable move toward war with Iraq, and other dramatic events, all leading up to the historic midterm elections of 2002. Through it all, Senator Tom Daschle had, with the exception of the President, the most privileged view of these unfolding developments, both in front of and behind the closed doors of government. In Like No Other Time, Daschle offers a riveting account of his singular perspective on a time when the nation faced deadly and elusive external enemies and a level of domestic political contention rarely seen in American history. Senator Daschle is un-flinching in his impressions of the key political figures of our time from both parties. The result is an acutely perceptive assessment of how our government met—and sometimes did not meet—the challenges of a remarkable era. As it was during the years of the 107th Congress, the United States is once again at a critical and historic crossroads. Our choices, based on what we have learned from our recent past, will affect our future in profound ways. For Senator Daschle, the first and perhaps most important choice lies with what kind of representation and leadership we want in government. It is a choice between a political party with a core philosophical belief in the power of our collective will to confront these challenges through our government, and one dominated by a group of people who don’t like and don’t believe in government.
