Book Description
The Heroes of this book are the veterans and their families whose stories span 140+ years in protecting our country. Their stories are history, filled with the mundane events of service life, the fear of combat, the horror that front line infantrymen faced, the tension that air crews and pilots faced, the vastness of the Pacific that confronted sailors, the strain on the mind and bodies of Prisoners of War, and humor viewed through the eyes of the veterans. As you read their stories listen to the voices of these veterans and picture in your mind an aging color guard from a local veterans post; visualize them marching into the mist, to the sound of distant drums and the muted bugles call, along with the men and women who have gone before. There are no large marble memorials to these individual veterans; their monument is a free United States. I am left with one thought about the experience of speaking with these people; God bless the United States of America and all who serve her.

Book Description
Although it's impossible for the human body to see God and live, there's a way that God can be visualized through the spirit; by what is known as spiritual vision. This procedure can only take place when the spirit over-comes the natural body, and from that point, the spirit has complete control of the glorified body that becomes existent through the workings of the spirit. Within this book I Hear the Sound of Distant Drums, you will read about how my soul left my natural body and then entered into a glorified body. Once my body of glorification became a body that was all spirit, I was then capable of entering into the "Throne Room" of God, but it was only allowable by the (very) bidding of God. As I stood before God, and as {He} sat upon {His} Throne, God had given unto me a revelation that fulfills the last days movement, as it pertains unto the last days harvest of souls. God held conversation with me many times, but these conversations wasn't with natural words as you and I would know and understand them to be, but through the spirit these words were placed within my heart, my soul, and my mind. Distant drums continuously played, and with their playing, they were bidding me to seek out their location, and though the path was straight and narrow, I discovered these drums, and along with my discovery, I discovered that they were playing at the Eastern Gate of the Kingdom of God! Yes! I soared throughout the Heavens, and I'm now bidding you to let the spirit take you where no man has ever "humanly" gone!

Book Description
“We waited in silence, each man occupied with his own secret thoughts and no doubt wrestling with his own secret fears. I think that half-hour was probably the worst I have ever spent. Slowly and inexorably the minutes passed, second by second, and the time approached which might be the end of everything for me. All my efforts to screw up my courage, all my fatalistic self-assurances that what is to be, will be, became more and more useless, and hope seemed to ooze away with every second...” Frederick Noakes, 1917. Guardsman Frederick Noakes fought on the Western Front for the last 18 months of the Great War. In 1934, he wanted to write up his ‘adventures’ while his memory was still ‘undimmed’, using the letters he wrote home during 1917–1919 as the basis for the memoir. His eloquent text, with his views on politics, morale and the trenches, moved friends to persuade Noakes to publish the work privately in 1952. Fen Noakes did not consider himself a hero, but the dignity with which he conducted himself under the most dreadful conditions suggest otherwise. His articulate and effective prose gives a voice to the average soldier in the trenches. Professor Peter Simkins provides an introduction to this new edition, which also includes a foreword by Carole Noakes, niece of the author.
