In 1941, fifteen-year-old Billy Liedloff, a quiet,
friendly, fun-loving young man, runs away from
home. Thus begins his first travels to strange new
places and meeting people of different ways of
life. Also begins his caring familys anxiety and
concern as they await Billys safe return home.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Billy feels
compelled to fight for his country. He joins the
Navy. While this adventure takes him to many
fascinating ports of call, the daily routines and
duties of his role in the service leave him
disappointed and homesick. After leaving the Navy,
he eventually joins the Army Airborne Division as
a career soldier. Again, the opportunities for
travel take him to new and exciting locations. In
Germany, he finds the love of his life. Just as he
is about to bring his happy new family to America,
he is found dead under mysterious circumstances.
This true story of Billy Liedloffs life completes
the fulfillment of a familys long-ago memory of
Billys humorous, playful antics, his kind,
thoughtful nature, and his unfinished life. His
touching story is told by his cousin Debra
Bowenkamp as she reveals how the family always
seemed to be WAITING FOR BILLY to come home.
