Every Other Four is a firsthand account into the life of Cpl Wojtecki, A Marine Infantryman in Weapons Company 3/25 based out of Akron, OH. The day-by-day journal of the Marine describes what it felt like to be in some of the most hostile areas in the Al-An bar province and gives you the real story of what went on during those 10 months of training and combat.

 

The 23-year-old college student describes life in a war-zone, constantly keeping watch on the roadways as a member of a Mobile Assault Platoon. Cpl. Wojtecki’s platoon fought an ongoing battle against insurgents such as Zarkowi and the Mouja-Haadine terrorist group that planted IED’s and mines on roadways, making it a difficult fight by blending into the local population and then fleeing to lawless river towns.

 

This journal is dedicated to the 48 Marines and Sailors that died serving our country from 3/25. “Hopefully” he says, “the words in this journal will live forever and carry on their legacy.”

Cpl. Matthew Wojtecki, 23, is a reservist at Weapons Company 3/25 based out of Akron, OH. Last year in January of 2005, Cpl. Wojtecki and the Marines of 3/25 were mobilized in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III. Prior to deployment, Matthew attended Kent State University pursuing a finance and computer information systems degree. He is engaged to his Fiancée, Angela, whom he left behind to fight in Iraq. Although after returning home, the events of September 11th and the memories of war are still heavy on Matthew's mind, they serve as a constant reminder that freedom isn't free, and that the life he has, came with some sacrifice.
