Bringing Joseph Hargrove Home
 |
A Great read of a true story of Cary Turner who is the cousin of Joseph Hargrove, a member of the Gun Team left behind from the west beach during the evac. Cary has traveled to Koh Tang twice trying to recover Joseph's remains and bringing him home. I highly recommend this book and Cary could use our help putting pressure on Congress and the JTF to get the answers that we all want to know. The book is available to order now thru Tate Publishing following this link. |
Bringing Joseph Hargrove Home
Secrets of the Mayaguez Incident
by Cary Turner
Koh Tang is a small island located thirty
miles off the coast of Cambodia. It was an island never heard of by
the Hargrove family until May 15, 1975. It was Joseph Hargrove's
twenty-fourth birthday when he and fellow marines were called to
arms. Their objective was to free hostages taken from the cargo
ship, Mayaguez. In Bringing Joseph Hargrove Home, you will read of
how Joseph Hargrove and his gunnery crew, Gary Hall and Danny
Marshall, were left behind. Was it a mistake or did they know they
were leaving marines behind?
For over thirty-seven years, the
Hargrove family still has questions that remain unanswered. What
happened to Joseph? Why the mystery surrounding his death? This book
is about one man's efforts to find answers to those questions. The
author takes you on a five year journey where he encounters many
obstacles, but with the help from old friends, new acquaintances,
and determination, he endures. It is a compilation of humorous
childhood stories shared by Joseph's best friend, Grant Rich, and
numerous emails giving you, the reader, an up-close and personal
look at problems encountered by the author.
Included among
those emails are a few sent from Em Son by way of Noma. Those emails
give you an account of the last moments of Joseph's life. The author
also injects his thoughts and reasoning in an attempt for the reader
to understand more fully the feelings of the Hargrove family and
what they have endured since May 15, 1975.
