The book is a memoir primarily focused on the life of my father, James Killion, Jr. Most of the content is dedicated to 47 letters that he wrote to his parents and brother while he served in the US Army during WWII. The letters reveal the frustrations and challenges of a Black soldier serving in a segregated Army. There was a 1st (limited) edition published as a gift to family members. Due to positive reaction from family and friends, I was encouraged to make book available for the public. There was much discussion and question about how James Killion, Jr evolved from an angry, frustrated soldier who challenged and fought racism/segregation to a renowned community and civic leader. This 2nd edition adds content on the front and back ends of the WWII military experience. It portrays a fully evolved life cycle.
