Growing up as a child of a sharecropper family in South Georgia
paints an image of hard times but my memories are just the
opposite. We ate three good meals every day and slept in a
comfortable bed at night. My parents loved me and taught me a code
of conduct that I still strive to live by. I was taught; don't lie,
cheat, say ugly words or talk bad about your neighbors. Go to
Sunday school on Sunday and stay for church. Say yes sir and no sir
to your elders and do not talk with food in your mouth. I was also
taught to look people in the eye when talking to them. Daddy said
that people with shifty eyes were not trustworthy. When I was
assigned to the White House Communications Agency as a Staff
Officer during my military career, my upbringing became a source of
strength that saw me though some demanding situations. I learned at
a very early age that God loved me. When I became a Christian at
the age of fifteen, Jesus made sure my very own angel was there to
lift me out of numerous deep holes I dug for myself. This book is
memories of growing up in the mid forties and fifties and my
twenty-three years in the U. S Army. These were challenging times
for America and I consider myself fortunate to have lived through
the period. World War II was over and millions of military men and
women were returning home to pick back up their lives with the same
energy and determination that won the war. The world today has
changed dramatically from the world I grew up in. We have improved
our standard of living with technologic advancements we only
dreamed about. However, the world appears to have lost its ethical
compass and is digressing back to the moral decay of the Roman
Empire period of time. My prayer is that America will once again
find its bearing and be a principled compass for the world to
follow.
