This book was authored containing numerous segments by Corporal Earl E. Loughner writing in his own words shortly after his return from enduring some of the worst atrocities soldiers have experienced in the Philippines and Japan. Guests will not only be able “feel” his struggles, but get a glimpse of what his family was going through during his time missing, knowing he was a POW, and after he returned home. He was released on August 15, 1945 after surviving the Bataan Death March and 3½ years as a POW. Although Loughner died when Fisher was 7, she loved her father and always thought of him.
