A story of courage and perseverance for all generations
"More Than 36 Days" are the stories of men who served as United States Marines during World War II in the battle for Iwo Jima island. It is not a war book as it focuses on the men, their backgrounds and how their war experiences defined them into the men they grew to become. They spent 36 days on the island but their stories are more than that!

"Carron Barrella does us the grand favor of ensuring that the life stories of veteran Marines who fought at Iwo Jima will be preserved forever. Barrella, a former Marine herself, tells their stories, with charm and grace, but through the eyes of someone who can easily imagine the horrors of war, the triumph in battle, and the bonds among the warriors that were seared for eternity. To Carron Barrella, we should all say, “Thank you – for your insight, your courage, and your sensitivity.”
To the veterans, we should all say, “Thank you – for you service to the United States of America and to humanity everywhere.”
Medal of Honor Recipient, US Army, Vietnam, Drew Dix
"By expertly threading the lives of men, Carron tells us what it was like to be a young man in those days before, during and after WWII and gives us a cleaner picture of HONOR, INTEGRITY AND PATRIOTISM; we now know how war affects who we become, Semper Fi!"
