Synopsis

Proclamations lit up the sky when Romans or Greeks were born and made history. At Buddy's birth nothing appeared. He was a nice towheaded kid with a speech defect and a flair for surviving usually killing accidents. Sent to California for speech therapy, he played with Spencer Tracy's son and learned how Walt Disney made Mickey Mouse come to life. The 70th Tank Battalion became the most decorated battalion to come out of World War 2. Assigned to support The Armored School, the 70th had, for three years, been excused from training. Together, Buddy and the 70th struggled against the efforts of the communist crew of the USA Brewster to destroy the troops' morale and to keep the ship from reaching Korea.

Biographie de l'auteur

I am Buddy and this is a true story. It is still a question of whether I was incredibly lucky or whether a benevolent God was aware of the coming conflict between a godless communistic government and the free world so picked me to be His tool to save, with the 70th, the UN position in Korea. My youth and World War 2 were sprinkled with vicious accidents and unwittingly entered situations, all of which should have kept me out of the army and Korea. After 12 years I left the army. The Secretary of The Army has granted and assigned me a Distinguished Member of the 70th ARMOR Regiment.
