Col. Bill Morgan put in many years in service to our country, and along the way the New Orleans native collected stories that range from the hilarious to the heartfelt, from thrilling to tragic.
Morgan, who now lives in Destrehan, shares some of those tales in his new book, “Haze Gray and Underway: Sea Stories of the US Marines.”
A first-time author, Morgan chronicles the experiences of several Marines and sailors through their careers.
“These stories will bring back fond memories for the ‘salty’ veteran of today and years past,” says a news release. “As our collective Marine Corps history and traditions are timeless, so too are the sea stories told from the standpoint of the eyewitnesses to history or through the interpretation of a 30-plus-year Marine Corps veteran.”
