Illustrated by
Ron Mazellan.
"The tall man...yelled, 'Who will fight for his country, brave and true?' Papa shouted, 'I will, sir!'" Mercer tells of a World War II soldier whose childhood experiences prepared him for combat (e.g., jumping from a hayloft parallels jumping from an airplane). The text is overly earnest, but Mazellan's realistic illustrations capture the soldier's experiences.
