History Researched and Recalled – The Military Years

Description

During his amazing military service, Brigadier General Ronald R. Van Stockum, USMC, kept journals, made notes and took photos. In this book we travel with the author to war zones of the last century including the South Pacific, Panama Canal, Guantanamo Bay, Guam, Iwo Jima, and Pearl Harbor. We glimpse private remembrances of friends in battles, on missions, and aboard ships, including those ranking high and low, from presidents to ambassadors to soldiers and sailors. This memoir also sparkles with excursions to downtown Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington DC and Tokyo. What fun to travel with this accomplished Marine throughout his remarkable career.
