Act 2: WWII
A sheltered, naive, and undereducated young man, with few prospects and from a sleepy small town in southern California, had eye opening experiences entering the U.S. Army at the age of 20 in 1941. He served as a Battalion supply technician in the 3rd Infantry Division through the war until the ripe old age of 24 in 1945. This adventure took him from California across
the United States, to North Africa and into Europe, including the
Anzio landing. He wasn't on the front lines thus this is not a war
story of battles and generals although there are battles to recount
and Patton does make an appearance. This is the story of a regular
guy in a most irregular situation, whose tales clearly illustrate
the daily reality of wartime in World War Two. |

This is not a chronicle of a brave and heroic soldier who
rose several ranks to Captain or Colonel or Major, although he received a
simple PFC to T-5 promotion along the way with a bunch of ‘other ‘guys’.
This was an ordinary American boy, raised in a devout Catholic family by
parents with strict principles, who was caught up in the conditions of a
U.S. World War into which he was hurled as a teenager. About the Author Arthur B. Pranger |
First to the Rhine: This is the story of the Allied forces--the
U.S. 6th Army Group and French 1st Army--that landed in southern France on
August 15th, 1944. |

An Oklahoma Soldier : A Ride in One Man's Saddle by Barbara L. Nielsen
Of interest to whet your taste is a newspaper article on my father concerning his actions while with the Third. What maybe of more interest is a book my sister wrote on his life. Some of your followers may find it of interest of a different life and time of a boy to man story before, during and after WW 2. |

THE NOT FORGOTTEN WAR chronicles the experiences of Private Nicholas Dick who
served in a machine gun crew during the last few months of the Korean conflict.
Those last months were among some of the bloodiest as both sides fought to claim
as much territory as possible prior to reaching a cease-fire agreement. For
years after his discharge, Nick was never able to talk about his horrific
experiences and never mentioned the frequent nightmares he suffered. After a job
injury forced him to take early retirement, he suddenly found himself becoming a
victim of Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. Here is one GI's story of war and its
aftermath. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0759257663/qid=1105487095/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7776228-0186322?v=glance&s=books |

Letters Home From 9/11 to Operation Iraqi Freedom A Military Mom Shares Her Family's Story of Patriotism, Courage and Love by Mary Ward
"Mary Ward takes us on an amazing journey, from the
terrors of the battlefield to the tenderness of a mother's heart.
Her "Letters Home" should inspire us all to be brave in adversity,
and 'choose the harder right over the easier wrong'." |
A memoir of war
from a mother's perspective. The book includes letters her son wrote
home from basic training through to his last letter home from a war
zone.
It sells for $15 + $3.95 for shipping for a total of
$18.95. I give five percent of the sale of each book to the Wounded
Warrior Project. As of 12/13/04 $186.94 has been raised for our
Wounded Warriors. Letters Home could be any family's war story. There are thousands of families deeply affected, some with more compelling stories some with less, all with fears they never dreamed existed. There are some thoughts that are never far from your heart and mind. This is one family's journey as told through the words of a soldier's mother and her son's letters home. Ward's son, Sean, enlisted in the infantry after the attacks on 9/11. He was driven to take up arms for his country and has not looked back since. Sean's letters home from basic training to the last letter home from Iraq range from joy to intensely reflective. He serves with the 3rd Infantry Division (mechanized) and was machine gunner on a Bradley during the first phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ward shares with the reader how it felt to read his letters and the life challenges they faced while her son was in the most dangerous place in the world.

“LOOKING BACK”
|
At last someone has written about the long overlooked story, of the critical part played (in December 1950) by the 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division, in the vicious battle fought at Huksu-ri and Sachang-ni, southwest of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. The book contains 329 pages of real life adventure, humor, suspense, excitement, worry, disappointment, heartbreak, death, sadness, depression, recovery, happiness, and a multitude of historic facts. His life beginning in an upstairs flat in Detroit, Michigan, this is the story of Terry Lloyd Tennant, born into poverty during the great depression in the 1930’s, his experiences growing up in the inner city; then (at age 18) leaving home and enlisting in the United States Army. Known intimately only by those who were there and survived, it is the authors hope this book will be read by many of the 3rd Division men, so they will know and perhaps appreciate why we who were their are so proud of this special chapter in the long and glorious history of the 3rd Infantry Division U.S. Army - the “Rock of the Marne!” |

"Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad" Every war has images that are burned into the public's mind. Operation Iraqi Freedom has several....the blinding sandstorms, or the photos of Iraqis and GIs tearing down statues and paintings of Saddam. The other memorable event of the war for many was the sight of American armor racing into the heart of Baghdad, despite the daily assurances from Iraq's Information Minister that the Allies were nowhere near the city. |
The armor was from the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), and Los Angeles Times reporter David Zucchino was embedded with them for their drive up into Iraq, and then on their daring "Thunder Runs" into the city. A year later, he has released a book about the division's remarkable armor thrusts into Baghdad and the savage fights on a major highway to the west of the city as the division sought to re-supply the armored force. "Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad" promises to cement this amazing story into the annals of American military accomplishments with hundreds of first-hand accounts of what happened in the first week of April 2003, so far from Fort Stewart, Georgia.

Camp Croft Friends You may have already heard about the new book I worked on with the Spartanburg County Historical Association entitled "When the Soldiers Came to Town," the story of Spartanburg's W.W.I and W.W.II army training camps. While the chapters on Camp Wadsworth (W.W.I) and the Spartanburg Memorial Airport (W.W.II) are very interesting, it may be the section that would best appeal to you is the bulk of the book dedicated to the former US Army Infantry Replacement Training Center, Camp Croft. We collected many unique pictures, several of which appear in print for the first time. The book also includes personal interviews and articles by Croft veterans, local citizens, and historians ... 228 pages and over 200 images. |

The Fort Stewart Museum Foundation Presents |
The Rock of the Marne…Tigris and Euphrates” captures the might and
firepower of the 3rd Infantry Division in its historic drive to Baghdad
and the eventual overthrow of the Hussein Regime. Known as the Marne
Division, the 3rd Infantry Division added a new chapter to its rich
history by moving farther and faster than any combat operation in history.
Key to the success of the Division was the seizure of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which allowed for the freedom of movement not only for the Division, but for the entire coalition forces. This limited edition print by artist James Dietz depicts not only the strength of the Division, but also reflects the bravery of the men and women who pushed over 750 kilometers into enemy territory and soundly defeated the Iraqi forces in every engagement of every battle. |
