    About this ebook

    Born in the placid 1950s, raised in the turbulent 1960s, and come of age in the selfish 1970s, Sam Smaltz just wants to be left alone.
    But being sandwiched between the Greatest Generation and Gen X and the Millennials offers him no such comfort. As a Baby Boomer, he does not get to be a respected hero by fighting German and Japanese warriors during WW II or North Koreans invading South Korea. Instead, he leaves behind a stepson, Jack, who becomes just one more nameless, faceless hero whose story gets lost in the battle against international terrorism.

    Steve Stroble

    Steve Stroble grew up as a military brat, which took him from South Dakota to South Carolina to West Germany to Ohio to Southern California to Alabama to the Philippines to Northern California. Drafted into the Army, he returned to West Germany. He currently resides with his wife in California's fertile Central Valley, home to farm and ranch products from A to Z. I sincerely hope my stories entertain and maybe even help you on this journey called life.
