Medic!: How I Fought World War II with Morphine, Sulfa, and Iodine SwabsLt. Gen. George S. Patton remarked that the "45th Infantry Division is one of the best, if not the best division that the American army has ever produced." Such praise, however, came at a steep price, for the 45th saw some of the fiercest fighting in the European campaign from Sicily to Anzio and from southern France to Germany and racked up one of the highest casualty rates.

Lt. Gen. George S. Patton remarked that the "45th Infantry Division is one of the best, if not the best division that the American army has ever produced." Such praise, however, came at a steep price, for the 45th saw some of the fiercest fighting in the European campaign--from Sicily to Anzio and from southern France to Germany--and racked up one of the highest casualty rates. Through it all, medic Robert "Doc Joe" Franklin--drafted in 1942 and thrust into combat with no specific training or knowledge for treating war wounds--soldiered on, fighting as hard to keep his men alive as the enemy fought to kill them. The story of his career as a frontline medic, one of the first memoirs written by an aid-man, is told here with simplicity, unflinching honesty, and grit.
Studded with memorable vignettes--of a friend who "smells" the Germans long before they appear, the dog that acts as an artillery spotter, the lieutenant who can't see beyond a few hundred feet--Franklin's memoir documents the almost unbearable drama of ground gained and lives lost, as well as the terrible human toll of battle on himself, his comrades, and civilians quite literally caught in the crossfire. A rare look at the fight for lives laid on the line, Medic brings to life the reality of war.

Great bbq tool
Works really well. Used it while smoking a brisket. Loved that I didn’t need to keep checking its progress. The app let me know when it reached correct temp

I have been using these since 2023.
Style: Standard, Color: Beige
I have had 5 pairs of these. They are the best ear buds I’ve tried. They outlasted my expensive Beats Pro which are exactly alike but $150. The battery life on them is much better. The sound quality is comparable. I use them for calls at home and work, audiobooks and music when I’m doing things at home. Range is decent enough. Super easy to pair, though they don’t come with instructions. You can find them online though. The only issue I’ve ever had was with one pair I opened, there was only one ear bud inside. I had bought them on sale months prior so I couldn’t return them. The only reason I have so many pairs is because I keep one pair in my work bag and one I use at home, and I have lost a couple of them so had to replace. They last forever. The original ones I bought in 2023 still work great! I lost one at the nail salon, but the other I still have and will occasionally wear it at home while cleaning, and still works like new. They stay on and don’t hurt my ears. I’ve recommend them to many people. I try to get them when they are on sale, and then it’s a great value for the price. I just bought another pair as a backup to store away, and notice they are $2 more than the sale price I usually get. Still worth it. Get them!

Super comfortable
Style: Standard, Color: Black
This is actually my second pair of these PocBuds, and that alone should say a lot. The comfort is outstanding. The earhook design makes a huge difference—they stay in place no matter what I’m doing, whether I’m working, walking, or moving around a lot. I can wear these for long periods without any discomfort, which hasn’t been my experience with most earbuds. Battery life is another big win. The charging case and battery performance are fantastic. I don’t feel like I’m constantly worrying about charging them, and the digital display is a really nice touch so you always know where you stand. The wireless charging just makes it even more convenient. Sound quality is solid too, with good bass and clear audio for music, videos, and calls. They’ve been reliable across everything I’ve used them for—phone, laptop, and even TV. Overall, these have been a great value and very dependable. The fact that I came back and bought a second pair says everything. Highly recommended.
