Travel with Louis Ables as he takes you through his military adventures in WW II. In a very real, sometimes humorous way, Louis takes you through his Army escapades to the sandy beaches of Normandy on that fateful D-Day in 1944. His simple, clear narrative carries you along with him on his adventurous journey, fighting Germans all the way. Join him through his capture by the Germans, the Liberation of Paris, onward to Belgium. It is a book you won’t want to put down.This is one man’s story, but it echoes the voices of countless other brave soldiers who enlisted during those dark days after Pearl Harbor. Too often history focuses on famous leaders, while overlooking the rich histories of the individuals who serve so valiantly in the ranks. This story illustrates important historical events through the eyes of a combat soldier in Patton’s Third Army. It’s a story you will want to read again.Louis is the epitome of the concept 'The Greatest Generation.' When Pearl Harbor was attacked, he went directly to the recruiting office and enlisted. He knew it would be dangerous, possibly fatal, but saw it as necessary. This was a war that had to be fought and he endured all the horrors of war bravely, without flight or complaint.I found it important to write this story. It’s the action-packed adventure of one very brave man who understood a simple truth; there’s no freedom without responsibility. When freedom was threatened, he answered the call to action. Thanks to him and his fellow soldiers, we have a world we can live in with dignity.
