This is the recollection of Ray Lambert as written by Jim deFelice. Mr Lambert, 98 years old at the writing of this book in 2019, grew up during the US depression era. a son of a farmer. Volunteered for the army when the US mobilized in 1940 and became a medic for the US Army 1st Division - the "Big Red One". The books starts of with a short introduction to his youth, what it was like being poor living growing up in a farm during that time period, and eventually joining the Army. After training, we follow Mr Lambert to North Africa, then Sicily, and eventually to Normandy on D-Day - 3 years he served until his back was broken on the beaches of France.
