Excerpt

The date is December 7, 1940. A twenty-six year old soldier is sent off to war and begins his first mission as an officer. He rides aboard the USS Susan B. Anthony, taking him from Georgia to Africa. The young soldier is sent to French Morocco where he and his fellow officers are told they are to take over a Portuguese fortress and airfield. He is so excited to finally get off the ship that he forgets war awaits him.
