This is a compilation of poignant excerpts along with photographs from the 760 letters written during World War II by a soldier from Indiana to his wife and newborn son while he served with a field artillery battalion in the 29th Infantry Division. They begin with a postcard written on the bus while reporting for duty and basic training, and end 34 months later with a last letter written in France while waiting to board a Liberty ship returning to the U.S. Readers are taken along on the trip across the Atlantic aboard the RMS Queen Elizabeth, training in England, the D-Day invasion, the assault on Germany and the war's end. They convey his impatience during the occupation of Germany while he awaited orders that would finally send him home to his wife and the son he had last seen as a sick and weak newborn. He wonders in his letters if the baby that had grown to be a healthy, cheerful little boy would accept this "stranger" as his father? These personal letters are filled with the emotions and feelings of a young man separated from his new family. Yet, they reveal his commitment to do his share in "getting the job done" in the war so he can get back home and start fulfilling all of those hopes and dreams that he and his wife have been writing of during his three-year tour of duty.
