This moving World War II memoir captures the day-to-day comings and goings of G.I. Joe from pre–World War II National Guard days through induction, training, deployment overseas, and more training. It all leads to Normandy, when Sergeant Bob Slaughter came across Omaha Beach with Company D of the 116th Infantry. But even that was only the beginning of a march that would take him and his fellow soldiers of Company D, at least those who survived, to Holland and on into Germany itself—the long march to final victory in Europe.
