The author tells about his early life growing up in small Minnesota towns, his education in High School and at Iowa State College. He received a Commission as a Second Lieutenant, Field Artillery after completing the R.O.T.C course and was immediately ordered to active duty in June of 1941. The Pearl Harbor attack meant he was in the war for the duration. This is a story of his role in World War II in desert training, combat in Africa and Sicily, training in England for the invasion of Normandy, landing on Omaha Beach and the campaign through France and Europe, ending in Czechoslovakia. He was overseas just over 3 years serving the entire time with the 62nd Armored Field Artillery Battalion which was in combat a total of 424 days and was awarded a Unit Citation and several Commendations. He returned with an English bride and attended Dental School at the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1950. He also holds a Bachelor's degree in Forestry from Iowa State University.
