Return Home: Triumph and Surprising Sadness

>Join Jocko Underground<

Landon Longgrear was a United States Marine who answered the call to serve with quiet resolve, carrying the weight of duty far from home into the unforgiving terrain of Afghanistan. His life stands as a testament to courage without fanfare—proof that honor is often written not in words, but in sacrifice.

U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin is a battle-intensive and deeply personal war memoir following a small Marine infantry detachment who arrive in Afghanistan with acts of killing beginning immediately. Not a week goes by before the Marines experience the deaths of friendly forces, Marine casualties, enemy combatants killed, numerous IED strikes, air strikes, predator drone strikes and around-the-clock patrolling in hostile territory where death is ever present.
