This book is a tale of a young innocent man’s journey throughout his life. Describing his encounters and adventures, while showing how life was a century ago. Then comparing it with today and reminding people, that life could be good, even through turbulent times. His journey was a long one, starting from a very young age, describing many interesting events as he grew up, some sad, funny, heartbreaking and dangerous. His U.S. Navy exploits throughout World War II in Key West, North Africa, Italy, England and Normandy provided many details of how life was during combat, as part of the U.S. Naval 5th Amphibious Force during World War II. Afterwards, he entered the Pacific combat zone in the Philippine Islands and its main task, the assault on Okinawa, Japan.

There were many important events described as to how difficult life could be and how a person could survive. The effects of combat in later home life, and the problems when returning with changed attitudes and having very little to begin a civilian life with, was hard to cope with.
