Additional information
by George W. Hughes (Author)
The Author has lived a very exciting and rewarding life and wishes to share it with you. He begins with his childhood memories during World War II . He then covers every assignment in a twenty year military career while serving with many distinguished men. He also provides a view of his retirement years. He was a somewhat delinquent child and didn't find his purpose in life until he joined the military at age seventeen. He served for eight years in the Corps of Engineers as an Enlisted Man and twelve years as an Officer in the Army Infantry. He served two combat tours of duty in Vietnam and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for valor with the 1/7th Cavalry in 1966. While in the service, he obtained a College Degree in Business Administration and rose to the rank of Major. He made many mistakes (humorous and serious) and hopes that the reader might benefit from them and help him/her to make the proper decisions in life.
