Overview

Tommy was born in Norfolk, Virginia, to a navy family in July 1940. Adolf Hitler had taken France and the air blitz of London would soon begin. It would be sixteen months before the United States joined the war. This is a book of true stories from a child of that time during the 1940s and '50s. It is a child's view of those times of World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War with the Soviet Union. In spite of those difficulties, with the everlasting love, support, and encouragement of their parents, kids had fun. Every day was filled with adventure shared with their friends, on their own, exploring unrestrained imaginations, failing at times, learning from them, and becoming good citizens. They were patriotic and family-oriented with a foundation in God. For readers who lived in this period of time, you will see yourself and recall your own adventures. For those who came later, it will bring to life the stories that you have heard from your parents and grandparents. As the author says, ""It was some of the best times to be a kid."" It is a prescription of how things might be again.
