When I realized he was the namesake of a crucible event and that I’ve done that event, it made me feel a feeling I can’t describe. Because you read and listen to the citations but you almost never see the faces. And to hear his story told from his mouth and with his face and movements and emotions, that what we need more of. I came up under some of the last combat veterans in the Marine Corps and we heard of their stories and we googled the pictures and citations as young curious Marines. But being around and learning the from those veterans was the biggest impact, knowing that I learned from some of the most selfless men that have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and brought their brothers back and are teaching me to do the same…I’ll forever give them credit, especially the ones that stayed in the military…

I dont even drink but i would ve honored to sit down and have a beer with this guy. Much love and respect to you man. My cousin is a marine and unfortunately was kia in 03 in Nasiriyah.

Doc Latham.....the best Doc I have ever had in one of my platoons. Saved multiple lives in Helmand Province on our deployment to Marjah in 2009. I always held the highest respect for my Corpsman. It takes a special breed of Corpsman to integrate with Marines. Ad a platoon sergeant I always watched out for my Corpsman. When its on the line they put it all on the line. The title "Doc" is earned definitely but when your called a "Devil Doc" you have surpassed the threshold for awesomeness. With that Doc I salute you brother. Retired Marine here myself and was with 10th Marines most of my 20 years. Never heard of the Alka Seltzer trick. I wish I woulda thought of that one lol. Sf

I'm not a veteran, but I used to love a show about the 4077th moveable army supply hospital. That's so crazy about 54 minutes in he was in a humvee wreck, and he perfectly choreographed flying through the air better than anybody I ever saw do it. It's like he could be a professional mime on top of every other dang thing, amazing. I'm no hero like he is, but I am good at watching movies.

What a humble warrior. I remember reading about Doc Fonseca as I had just finished up FMSS and hoping, if ever called upon, I could act as he did. He makes me proud to have been an FMF Corpsman.

Thank you for sharing this I appreciate it. I hope this finds Doc doing well. Apparently he and I know some of the same Marines. Sgtmaj Poland. I haven’t heard that name in years but I could instantly hear his voice. It really is a small Corps ha! I was on Lejeune the same time with Small Craft Company. After Iraq I was w/ HQBN and met a Marine named Lcpl Howard Johnson, from Erie Pa. He was w/ a company of guys that caught “friendly fire/fratricide” there while they where in tracks. I later had the horror to find him, he had expired some time in the night or early morning hours before I did the barracks inspection for the company Gunny. Then had the privilege and honor to escort him home to his family and help the local I & I staff with his funeral service. He got full honors in the middle of the winter. The ground was so hard it broke the backhoe digging the ground and the firing squad had to dig a trench through the snow just to get up to there firing point. That whole command up there was wired tight. As weird as it sounds that’s was one of my better experiences in the Corps looking back on it. To see the care and upmost respect regardless of the weather to rendered honors taking zero short cuts for another Marine they never met with zero notice or let’s be honest training for it as a unit left a deep impression on me. I don’t think 8th & I could have done better. I can’t say enough good things about those Marines up there in Erie area.

I was with 2/8, I can remember hearing the radio calls from that day and it was chaos. We too suffered some blue on blue fire in a firefight on 3/26, 2nd LAR hit us hard at night from the top of the southern bridge confusing us for the enemy, we took 33 casualties but thankfully we had no deaths. Luckily, 1/10 recognized both us and LAR were calling in artillary fire on each others positions and instructed us to fire star clusters to verify before they started firing, we would have all been killed.
