Book Cover & Preview Text
David’s father had served in the Army in World War II and was there and took part in the Normandy Invasion on D-Day on Omaha Beach! I was impressed about that, but you could never get Mr. Johnson to talk about it. Must have been some terrible memories to carry with you all your life. I remember him as a very big man with very large hands, hands that had done a lot of hard work and hands that had fought a war on the other side of the Atlantic. I didn’t push, but I was curious! David would leave Emory after that first year and join the Army Green Beret Special Forces in preparation for Vietnam. It was 1967 at that time, when David was supposed to ship out the next day. That night he suffered a brain aneurysm, was rushed to the hospital, where for ten hours he struggled for his life. While on the operating table, the hospital, including the emergency room, experienced a total power failure and had to go on emergency battery backup!
