Combat Medic shares Corporal Vernon L. Parker's first-person
account of World War II. Parker, like many other young men drafted
in WWII, was transported from a simple, hard-working life in rural
America in 1942 to a complex, stressful environment that would
forever change his life. Nothing could have prepared him for the
experiences he encountered as a combat medic and ambulance driver
with the Third Army, led by "Blood and Guts" General George S.
Patton, Jr. Parker was part of the D-Day invasion. After landing at
Normandy, he spent more than ten months on the front lines,
supporting the armored divisions through five major campaigns in
France, Luxembourg, and Germany. A gifted storyteller, Parker
presents a self-deprecating narrative filled with keen insights and
colorful descriptions of day-to-day life with fellow infantrymen,
officers, civilians, and enemy soldiers. As his saga unfolds, it
describes the transformation of a naive and cocky country boy into
a battle-weary survivor struggling to maintain his dignity,
compassion, and humanity. In Combat Medic, Parker demonstrates a
startling recall of events from decades ago, including detailed
descriptions of people, places, and even conversations-indicating
just how much of an impact those war years had on him.
