Tom was a member of the 136th Fighter Bomber Wing during his Korean tour.

Tom hails from Western North Carolina, Bryson City. In the 1930's it was a pretty typical mill town. The Depression Years were exacting a heavy toll on rural NC as it did all over the country.

Tom details the struggle of rural North Carolina and his desire to enlist in the military.

From Tom: As you know a lot of our citizens never give a second thought to the special challenges career military families face. That isn't meant to be a complaint, but a statement of fact.

Periodic moves to a post half way around the world meant uprooting a family, taking kids out of school and saying goodbye to friends and family alike. And it could mean separation. Staying behind while the service member is sent to a war zone or remote station is one of the toughest propositions facing a military family.

Adapability was a key perquisite to 'making it' and once that simple truth was learned we all had it made.

Tom's book reads well, very thoughtful and comfortable. His United States Air Force career is fully detailed.
