About the Author

Bob Kern is a native Hoosier. Born and raised in Bedford, Indiana, like many boys in the 70's, he dreamed of joining the military.



His dream came true at the age of seventeen when he enlisted in the US Army never dreaming that shortly thereafter, he would find himself thrust in the middle of the Cold War.



Bob was in the US Army for almost 8 years and during those years he was quickly educated about the military life that civilians never see or hear about.



Since his honorable discharge in 1988, he has repeatedly thought about sharing his story with others to shed light on a time in history that hasn't gained as much attention despite the importance of the time period to US peace.



Bob decided to write and publish the story of his military career so that others may have an inside view of what it was like to be in the military at that time.



Due to the overwhelming support and response from other Cold War Veterans, the third book in the We Were Soldiers Too series on South Korea and serving on the DMZ is currently being written. A fourth and fifth book are also planned



Bob is the father of five children - Natalie, Bambie, Amber, Bob, and Rob. He resides in Bedford, Indiana with his wife Marsha and his three granddaughters; Sage, Jade, and Harmonie.



Bob enjoys connecting with US veterans and sharing his stories with others.
