Publisher's Synopsis
"As the number of surviving veterans of World War II dwindles, the appearance of new memoirs from participants in that conflict appears less likely. Fortunately, in 1989 Herschel Ponder, from Asheville, North Carolina, felt compelled to put pen to paper to inform his three daughters and grandchildren of his part in the greatest armed struggle of the twentieth century. A broad audience will welcome these well-written and fascinating recollections, which his family has agreed to share with others." Howard Davis Grier, PhD
