Description:John Shirley, in his book “I Remember”, gives readers a gripping firsthand account of the life of a young infantry soldier in combat in WW II.An infantry soldier's life is one of the harshest in any war.... Trudging through the rain, snow, and mud in the extremes of hot and cold with death all around. Day after day, month after month, even years, while fighting hunger, disease, and the enemy to stay alive and do his duty. It required the utmost sense of purpose, endurance, courage, and sacrifice. 87% of the Army's casualties were soldiers serving in infantry platoons and for every three wounded, one was killed. The survivors of an infantry battle are lucky, but it is their fate to face the next battleJohn Shirley's story describes how he fought and survived while serving with the U.S. Army Third Division as they battled through Anzio, Rome-Arno, Southern France, Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland, and Central Europe. His experience serves as an amazing but poignant lesson underscoring the importance of careful thought before rushing to send our soldiers to battle.What others are saying about "I Remember":“When your book arrived I stayed up half the night to read it as I couldn't put it down!
