For the third consecutive year, I’ve chosen the days leading up to Memorial Day as appropriate for honoring all of those who paid the ultimate price in service to their country by publishing war stories written by my father, Ted, who served as a low-ranking enlisted man in the U.S. Army during World War II and returned home wounded, but alive. The stories first appeared in my father’s self-published 1992 autobiography, “Some Events in One Life: Mine!“ Not published for any commercial gain, he printed up a dozen or so copies of that book as a means to provide his six children — including yours truly — and their heirs a personal look at his participation in one of history’s most-harrowing events, World War II.
Links to each of those installments, 12 in all, can be found here.
