My Mentor was a Hero

by Dr Alton E Loveless and Dr. Alton E. Loveless

This story is about two people; myself and my mentor and military hero. Though he has passed to his heavenly reward I wanted to remember him in this book with some of his earthly rewards.I could've never become as blessed as I have if it had not been for Lawnie Coffman who took me under his wings when I was a young teenager.Aleksandra Solzhenitsyn said,"If we don't know our own history, we will simply have to endure all the same mistakes, sacrifices, and absurdities all over again."He became my hero when I was 14 years old and seldom does a day go by that I am not reminded of he him or something he said that was coaching me toward a better life. The teaching and training he gave to me has governed my life now for 66 years.I will tell a part of my story first and then give credit to the man, his military service, his family, and the many that surrounded his life. One of the interesting things is his genealogy has roots in the Amish and Mennonites who did not believe in bearing arms yet he fought for the freedom of his homeland and parts of Europe.
