Senator Richard Lugar has this to say about Roger’s book: 'Roger Zion brings forward his remarkable career as a civic activist, businessman, Member of Congress and internationalist. Never shy to assert his leadership and express his views. Zion has played a major role in most of the great American debates of the past half-century. Public service has been at the foundation of everything Roger Zion has done. As he unfolds his many adventures in this new book, Roger Zion shows that he never lost connection to his Hoosier roots, and the values of honesty and dedication.' Congressman Roger Zion has lead a very exciting life from his days as a lifeguard in Milwaukee and hitchhiking around the country in search of a lady love lo his special assignments as a member of congress. After leaving law school at the University of Wisconsin, Roger joined the Navy where he served four years on active duty and sixteen years in the reserve. During his navy duty he had some hazardous flights as an aviator but wound up as a supply officer in the Pacific. That duty made it possible for him to log a trip up the Yangtze River, which he reports in detail. His greatest achievements, however, occurred when in 1966 he was elected to congress as the 'upset victor of the year'. As a member of the Public works committee he participated in helping rescue the navy base in Cuba after Castro shut off their power and water. As a member of the Internal Security Commit he charged Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark with treason for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. .He is best known, however, for getting international attention for Vietnamese failure comply with the provisions of the Geneva Convention. When millions of protest letter, arrived in Vietnam headquarters in Paris, their leader sent for Roger to explain their 'humiliation'. The meeting resulted in Zion getting a film which showed many prisoners of war who at .that time were listed us missing in action. Among the many awards Roger has received are from the American Legion which states: To The Honorable Roger Zion, courageous defender against atheistic communism and terrorism. These are but a few of the adventures that are depicted in this exciting book.
