"Dear Bud, ... Thanks not only for the
copy of the book, but also for putting those wartime notes into
a permanent record. It is an important addition to all the "stuff"
historians record. I couldn't put the book down once I got into
it. It brought back a lot of memories reading about times, places,
and people from 55+ years ago."
~ retired General John W. Vessey,
former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"Your excellent book will be placed in
this collection set apart in our museum for the casual reader
and the researcher alike. These important memories have incredible
value. Your book could be used as a model for the publication
of a soldier's view of the experience."
~ Jerry L. Gorden, BG(IA)
Director, Iowa Gold Star Museum
"I have just completed reading the book
and wanted to let you know how impressed I am. I was expecting
it to be just a photo copy manuscript, but it is as professional
as any publisher's production. Now for the contents. WOW!! I wonder
if when your Dad was keeping his diary if he ever thought how
beneficial it would be, especially to guys like me. To know where
the troops were by date, what the chow was, casualties, and sadly
to say, the lost men of the 151st FA were details I did not expect
to learn."
