【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A GENTLEMAN BY ACT OF CONGRESS Memoirs of a Foot Soldier in WWII【電子書籍】[ David E. Patterson ]

＜p＞When I first thought to write these chapters, it was as a wide-eyed boy again, listening to my father tell stories of heroism, destruction, adventure, honor, and glory. As I read through the memoirs again, I found renewed excitement, but it was accompanied by an adult viewpoint. A bit disappointing, but I realized it was inevitable. As time goes by, we all change. Knowing of human suffering, pestilence, indignities, and calamities in my time, it all became real.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I want to tell my father's war tales to honor his memory and lifetime. Few people have lived a life, fought, and survived a war, then successfully returned to that life. His story has always inspired me. Now I want to pass that on to as many as can appreciate it too.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Melvin Francis Patterson was a part of the "Texas Army," the Thirty-Sixth Division in WWII. He grew up in Texas and joined the Thirty-Sixth in the National Guard before the war. When the time came the division was mobilized and sent to North Africa. From there, they invaded Italy and made a name for themselves by slugging it out against the German Army through the mountainous region in the "heel" of Italy then on through Rome. Not long after the Normandy Invasion, the Thirty-Sixth invaded Southern France; then as the German Army retreated toward Germany, the Thirty-Sixth Division raced around it and closed the trap. Once in Germany, they continued the fight until surrender in 1945.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most people have heroes. I have always admired the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, and Eddie Rickenbacker. Each blazed a trail and failed consistently. Each rose again and again. Next to the Savior, my father has always been my biggest hero. Follow me here and see if you might find an inspiring story as well.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The unforgettable true story of two married journalists on an island-hopping run for their lives across the Pacific after the Fall of Manila during World War IIーa saga of love, adventure, and danger.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On New Year's Eve, 1941, just three weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were bombing the Philippine capital of Manila, where journalists Mel and Annalee Jacoby had married just a month earlier.

＜p＞My name is Leonida, but people just call me Nida. I grew up in the Philippines during the great war of my time. I had a loving father who adored me. He was my protector and teacher. He was my rock, my hero, my father. He made me feel safe and he shaped me into the person I am today. Without his love and teachings of what is right, I strongly believe that I would not have what I have today. I may be overstating him a bit. My last memory of him was when I was only four years old, yet even at that young of an age, he captivated my imagination with his stories. I remember walking with him when I was even younger. I guess my earliest memories were from when I was as young as two years old. He was my inspiration and my hope, and he was taken from me when I was just four years old. I watched with tears in my eyes as he was killed at the hands of the Japanese for safeguarding some Americans by hiding them in a cave. I will never forget his last words to me.

And second, to fulfill a promise to all Americans to preserve these stories of heroism and liberty before they are forgotten forever. He wanted the world to know what the “everyday soldier” was willing to sacrifice to protect and preserve our country and our world. Mike is happily married to his wife Andrea and has four children and nine grandchildren. He makes his home in Minnesota.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】We Lived In Danger: From True Prairie Boy to Royal Regina Rifleman A Western Canadian's WWII Memoir【電子書籍】[ Victor Hepburn Small ]

＜p＞"＜em＞We Lived in Danger＜/em＞" is a deeply personal and straightforward story about a small-town Canadian boy from Saskatchewan, Victor Hepburn Small, and a salient and fascinating slice-of-life glimpse into the World War II era. "Vic's" formative years in the Big Sky country, and his love affair for early 1900's prairie culture, prepared him for an extraordinary life event: to serve his country during WWII. Ensuring his membership in Canada's greatest generation, "Vic" enlisted in 1942 at age 18, "to fight the Germans. Every living body did the same thing."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Published by his wife after his death in 2021, this memoir is not only a labor of love, but also a remarkably unique anthology. Vic's transcribed "Blue Bombers" leave letters (how soldiers stayed in touch with family by airmail) are both gripping and eloquent, and reveal with intimate, authentic, and genuine curiosity, vivid details of his experience as a young man serving in the European Theatre from 1943 to 1945. Not unlike many Canadian soldiers, Vic carried his film camera with him - all the way from solider training in Alberta and British Columbia, across the pond on Cunard Line's ＜em＞Queen Mary -＜/em＞ to England, Scotland and Germany. Lovingly preserved by his family for over 75 years, Vic shares a collection of snapshots from his time, taken from an album he put together of over 150 captioned photos of life and wartime.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Vic's story is truly a tribute to the undeniable resolve of his generation, a rare, historic fingerprint of an analytical, yet curious young Canadian man extending his view of the world around him, and finally, an insight into the heart-breaking reality for veterans of war back then, and the few survivors left now.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The stories are about money worries, quarrels, alcoholism, gambling and jealousy, and so on... But it is not unusual for couples to find a solution and often to get back together.

＜p＞The State of the Republic is an overview of significant political, social, and economic events since the end of WWII, along with a look at the criminal justice system, that has led up to the quagmire of disorder witnessed daily among our political leaders in Washington.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The American people are fraught with frustration and mistrust of our governmental leadership and children are growing up unsure of just what the nation's values are or what this country stands for the conclusions are: American leadership in the world has digressed in moral/ethical stature and responsibilities; the federal government, itself, has become so politically incestuous that the people have lost control; crime, violence, and disorder have become rampant and a housecleaning in Washington is long overdue.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author's experience as a juvenile probation officer and later as a school psychologist at the secondary level has given him a unique perspective, over the years, as a credible observer of the political leadership in our country and how it has influenced the morale and self-esteem of our people and, particularly, the youth of America. His baccalaureate degree in political science and history and his graduate degree in student personnel services contributes to his understanding of the implications of political leadership on the State of the Republic.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Lud?nyi's recollections offer a rare and valuable contribution to our understanding of American domestic and foreign policy and American-Hungarian relations. It has never been an easy task to arrive at a simple assessment of US policy, and this task is perhaps more difficult today than it has ever been. Lud?nyi nevertheless makes at attempt to do just this, and he does so without ever ignoring his own mistakes and disappointments. His insights are particularly engaging in part because he writes both from the perspective of a loyal, even patriotic American citizen but also from the viewpoint of an＜/p＞ ＜p＞outsider, a concerned Hungarian who is committed to Western values...＜/p＞ ＜p＞The volume which the reader has now taken in hand is being published both in English and in Hungarian, as it will be of interest both to American and Hungarian audiences, not to mention to Hungarian Americans. It will serve to foster an increasingly nuanced understanding of Hungarian-American relations, while also appealing to readers who are simply enrapt by the thoughts and insights it offers, which are shared in a light style which will often bring a smile to the reader's face.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
