History Researched and Recalled, the Military Years

By: Van Stockum, Ronald R., Sr.

During his amazing military service, Brigadier General Ronald R. Van Stockum, USMC, kept journals, made notes and took photos. In this book we travel with the author to war zones of the last century: the South Pacific, Panama Canal, Guantanamo Bay, Guam, Iwo Jima, Pearl Harbor, and others. We glimpse private remembrances of friends in battles, on missions and aboard ships those ranking high and low from presidents to ambassadors to soldiers and sailors. Delightful interjections are included as, "?not all service is spent in harm's way." This memoir also sparkles with excursions to downtown Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington DC and Tokyo. What fun to travel with this accomplished Marine throughout his remarkable career.
