Publisher's Synopsis
The journey together of two soldiers, meeting at a Knoxville, Tennessee Military Induction Center, and serving as comrades throughout the Korean War. The intermingling of those soldiers we met during and after the war is the foundation. Struggles included being drafted for war, the impact on family, life and death. The impact on army buddies of sacrifice of service and loneliness. The climax: finally going home to be with loved one's, leaving the battlefield. The summary: Carrying on the legacy of those who served and family who supported from a far. BIO: Dear Reader, My name is Harold L. Maples and I was born and raised in Powell, Tennessee. I enjoy SCUBA Diving, Traveling and working outside. Army buddies in the Korean War inspired me to write this book. Experiencing the depths of challenges that accompanies personal driven lives. Looking into the depths of this military double exposure to challenge one's remembrance and focus on soldiers in the field of battle in the Korean War, seeing life and death merge, for a cause greater than self, a call to service of their country for the choice of freedom. A declaration of a gentle breeze is not what makes "Old Glory" wave but is the result of the last breath that a soldier gave for his country, remember the fallen.
