My first thought when I found this book is that my dad who is a retired Hump Pilot in WWII would really enjoy this memoir so that is the original recipient of this book. What happened was I was bored to tears on the commuter train home had just finished the romance  I was reading and out of desperation thought what the heck it will keep me distracted.To say I was wrong is the understatement of the year what a moving and touching book. I feel so honored to have read this book. I don’t now about you but my generation grew up with tales of heroic acts and selfless sacrifices when it came to the men and women of that era of service.This book will show younger generations why the American people still perceive and rightly so this particular breed of American one tough hero. There I a reason we love Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart and The Duke. Because as Americans that is how we perceive our heros.I can tell you right now read this book and you will get to know areal American Hero not from the silver screen but one who fought the good fight and lived to tell the tales so no one would forget. But for Eddie Livingston more importance than his heroic deeds and unflinching courage during wartime is what he did for Veterans rights for the rest of his life.I am thrilled to have read this story and feel privileged to have gotten to know this true American Hero. I warn you there are many lump in the throat patriotic moments in this book so don’t be embarrassed if the next time you see an American flag go by you don’t get that lump and think of Eddie Livingston,I think the writing was great, editing good and formatting not annoying the real prize in this Kindle is the story that’s why I’m giving it five stars.
