Pug, Tug and Me

They were born in the 1920's. They grew up in the 1930's during the
Great Depression. They went to war in the 1940's. They served in the
armed forces during World War II. They became part of what is now
known as the Greatest Generation.

This account shares their ancestry, life stories and many experiences that
shaped their destinies as members of the Greatest Generation. There's
more truth than fiction in these accounts of their lives. It's a some what
fictionalized account of true stories about two cousins, their best friend,
and their distant cousin, a knock-kneed freckled-face kid of a girl, and their
families. It's also about some of their ancestors and historical events that
helped shape their beings. Some is about their ancestral family lore. Some
is about their wartime experiences and the aftermath.

Their story provides an unblemished insightful awareness of the depth
of adversity and character of a generation whose final destiny now looms
on the ever closer horizon to soon be gone forever.
This is their story.
