Synopsis

When the United States entered World War II, Clyde Lee Brock, Jr. answered the call to serve - albeit in a less conventional way. Though denied military enlistment due to a childhood disability, Clyde took pride in contributing on the home front as a coppersmith at the Norfolk Navy Yard in Portsmouth, Virginia. In June 1944, he began recording his daily life, preserving an intimate account of American resilience and determination.

“Just today I was reading a diary that was written by my great grandfather… This book inspired me so much that I decided to write about my days during this great and tremendous World War II.”
—June 4, 1944

Through his unvarnished diary entries, Clyde captures the rhythm of wartime life—not only the shifts at the shipyard and the uncertainty of distant battlefields, but also the small, steadfast moments of family dinners, church gatherings, and even the simple act of walking to work on a quiet Sunday morning. His words echo with a gentle, enduring spirit, framing an era of profound global conflict through the lens of everyday experience.

This volume is edited and introduced by his granddaughter, Lee Flores, Ph.D., a psychologist whose work explores memory and meaning in everyday life. Balancing historical rigor with personal insight, she has preserved Clyde’s original voice, ensuring that his reflections retain the authenticity and cadence of his time. Whether you are drawn to intimate wartime memoirs, historical narratives, or studies of everyday heroism, Clyde Lee Brock, Jr. offers a uniquely human perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.
