Description: Sergeant Darrell Jennings Brock fought in the trenches of the World War Two European Theater. After stepping onto Utah Beach in the famed Normandy landings, Brock was twice wounded by enemy fire and required several surgeries and months of convalescence. Constant thoughts of home kept him positive and encouraged. His letters describe what it was like for a "farm boy" from East Tennessee to face battle without forgetting what he was fighting for - his loving parents and brothers and sisters back home. Join International Author and Personal Historian, Kathleen Shelby Boyett, in following a decorated hero across Europe. Ms. Boyett is well-equipped for the journey: she is a Board Member of the North Carolina Military Veterans Hall of Fame; a supporter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart; a Daughter of the American Revolution; and the author or editor of over thirty books about American History and soldiers from all America's wars. Her books are sold at historical site and museum gift shops, as well as online.
