My dad recommended this book to me. He read it in his book club and couldn't help but cry as he told me the story of this young man. Having heard stories from his own father who was the same age of this man and also fought in WW2, it brought back memories of what had been shared with him.
This story of a remarkable young man whose faith in his God, love for his family and patriotism inspired me.

I have studied World War II from many angles, but this is the first in depth look at one soldier's experience in France. Focused on the Battle of the Bulge from the perspective of a family hero, it's uniquely engaging. His heroism inspired a generation of Dale namesakes in his small Utah town.
