About the Book

I have been an advocate for WWII veterans recording their experiences for future generations for many years. I believe generations to come need to know what cost and sacrifice these men and women endured to protect our country and world. They sacrificed years of their lives and many gave their lives for our country. Most veterans look back on their experiences in the military as building blocks for the rest of their lives. I believe that each veteran is a library, and when that veteran is gone, it is like the library is burned.

About the Author

Ed has lived in Iowa his entire life and experienced WWII during his early childhood years. In fact, he still has his WWII Ration card. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, and a Master of Arts Degree from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. His three older brothers served in the military before him so it was an easy decision for Ed to serve also. He is a U.S. Army veteran of the Cold War with Russia, having served with the 2nd Medium Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division in Germany.
