"Tracy Sugarman's story of life, love, and war during World War II is a treasure--a beautifully drawn portrait of a young man's devotion to his wife, his duty, and the enduring lessons of that special time." --Tom Brokaw "In the entire course of World War II, Tracy Sugarman got shot at just once, and never fired at an enemy. But his is one of the most compelling accounts of the war I've ever read. He was a junior officer in the U.S. Navy, serving in England and then in landing craft at Utah Beach. His stories about what it was like for him--and for his crew, for the infantry and other soldiers, and for their commanders--are a picture into the past: sometimes stunning, sometimes sad, always authentic. And always full of insight about the American soldier and sailor--so very young, so far from home, so brave, so determined. Most of all, My War is a love story about a young couple caught up in the middle of the biggest conflict ever, doing their duty but never losing sight of their love. When I got to the last paragraph, I wept." --Stephen Ambrose, author of D-Day June 1, 1944--LST 491 June, Darling, Hope this gets out to you. It'll be the last word from me for a long time. DON'T WORRY. I'm feeling wonderfully well and absolutely squared away for anything that may come my way. For this wonderful peace of mind, I have you to thank, Junie. Please call folks and tell them I'm fine but can't write them. Bye for a little, angel. Remember I love you with all my heart always. Tracy
