"Defining Moments" is the compelling true life story of one American soldier's adventures in the South Pacific during World War II. It is is a captivating tale of war behind the front lines as revealed through the more than 300 letters this young G.I. from rural Ohio wrote to his family between the years 1940-45. This memoir, written by the soldier's eldest son, captures in vivid detail Bill Dustman's transformation from boyhood to manhood. The book presents in candid detail the "defining moments" which shaped this young man's life once he departed the bucolic, but cloistered environment of his rural hometown to experience an unfamiliar and uncaring world over which he had little control.
They Called Me Barbie

You really can’t tell someone what life is like on a submarine. It’s one of those things you have to experience for yourself. I mean, you can understand the words for sure; just it misses something in the telling. Still, there are stories to share that, at the very least, should give a smile. I guess the best place to start is at the beginning.
