Book Description
This is the story of Bob Moranda, citizen soldier, who fought with honor, courage, conviction, and valor during one of World War II's most critical campaigns-the Battle of the Bulge. Both his capture by the Germans and liberation by the Russians were perilous. This is also the story of Bob and his brother George, who both served in Korea. In the National Guard after WWII, they were called to active duty again. Not too many years after WWII, they had to adjust once more from civilian life to that of soldiers in training and combat. Bob writes of the joys and frustrations of the common soldier doing his duty. George adds historical perspective to the events recounted in the book. Together they provide a compelling narrative enhanced by the context of history. For those who want to know what actual combat is like, those who need inspiration to meet life's challenges, and for those who want to know more about the "boys who saved democracy," this is essential reading.

Book Description
Being from Detroit I feel like one who has been on the front line of the happenings good, bad, and ugly all across this land in these past 50 years. In my desire to find out what really happened and why those things that happened drastically changed all of us young and old. I am writing this book in hopes that others along with myself, who feel the same can come away with some reasonable idea of past events, impacting the here and now. We must be able to plan a better life for ourselves, our children and childrens children. What I am pointing as the story unfolds is the death or killing off of love and innocence. Followed by the birth of violence, death, and destruction. It starts out with a man and woman in love wanting to share their lives. Then the Vietnam War ushers in the death and destruction and from that point on it enters into our whole society.
