This powerful book reveals what goes on beneath the exploding surface of the battlefield. The author masterfully captures the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings of a warscape and tugs at the reader to join the frantic ride. Every sentence incarcerates the helpless reader and stretches his emotional balloon to the bursting point. Thank you, Mr. Yeatts for taking me to the front lines. Although I've never been there, done that, I'll never again be able to shrug my shoulders mundanely at war. Yeatt's book should be required reading for every student seeking a military career. A five-star general couldn't do better.

Mr. yeatts is an ordinary man with extraordinary power and strength, to actually realize that this is a very common story of many of the men who endured this tragedy of war and yet never speak of it. As Tom Jennings said of his book many of the men were reluctant to speak of their experiences of the war, it was like he had to pull it out of them . How fortunate are the children of Mr. yeatts to know first hand and to have him in their lives to hear him elaborate even in more details his experiences of this world event. He is deserving of the highest honors, May god bless you always Mr. Yeatts,

This book was wrttien by my Father ,Who died at 3:43am on Septembr 17th 2008 while holding my daughters hand, and his children Charles, Raynelle and Elizabeth were with him for days before the end. This was a battle he could not overcome. He went peacefully home. But he fought to the very end and never let go of hope until we told him it was ok to wave the white flag and surrender his way home to heaven. I miss him so.....My heart is broken.

I am the foster sister of Harry Lee Yeatts, who was the child given up for social services. We grew up in the same foster home and have always wondered where we came from and what our roots were like. By Mr. Yeatts writing this book, he is giving my brother an opportunity to discover his roots. It was so exciting to see Harry's name in print and for him to discover a brother out there. Thank you Mr. Raymond for being so honest in your book. Five stars to a real honest writer.

After reading this book I was really moved at thinking of how a person could have lived with all the horrible memories of his experiences there all these years. As a child I always listened to my father's war stories and never really paid much attention to them. But after reading this book, now I truly realize how these accounts actually took over his whole life and that of his children. I will never again take forgranted the advice that my dad gives me still to this day and the way he always tells me how much he loves me and that I'm still his little girl. I am just really sorry that it took me 40 years to realize just how much my dad really means and why he has spoiled me so , all these years.

Yeatt's account of his experiences in WW II kept my attention. For everything he experienced during the war I was surprised by what he experienced when he returned home. If it had been a novel I would not have believed it. Yet this is life and you have to live with the cards you are dealt.
