Ben Harris, a reluctant American soldier, survives the horrible Omaha Beach landing and endures over a year of battles across Europe during WWII while at the same time fighting an inner battle against guilt for his participation. It takes the profound words from an old gentleman who shares his wine with Ben in a Belgian cafe to finally make him understand that his actions are just. So he continues to do what he was trained to do, kill the enemy. But one such event cast Ben into the life of a beautiful German widow and drives him to the cliff where death awaits below.

This is the story of how a young man deals with being drafted into the United States Army in the turbulent sixties, faces the challenges of Boot Camp and Advanced Infantry Training, survives the experiences of combat and manages the adjustments of coming home to serve at a training base and then returning to civilian life. He describes the day-to-day life from the time he receives his draft notice until the day he has the honor of placing a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
His story travels from the classroom to the jungle and rice paddies where he faces life-changing actions, and he experiences moments that will be imbedded in his memory forever. He describes his transition from books to bullets, and tells the stories within the story which run from light moments to tragedy.

“Morale is low in Anzio. Send up the band!” Bob Morton
stood against the railing of the ship staring at the
Mediterranean water, and thought how well the sea and
the desert paced themselves: how easily they overcame
the clamors of wars that echoed down the wind and
joined the artifacts of Roman legions. Morton recalled
the changing emotional pattern that mellowed the
thoughtless courage of youth and replaced it with
inarticulate knowledge, unspoken understanding, and
kindness, from the comradeship shared in sacrifice. He
recalled the words echoed in Fort Knox, “Music is a
touch with the intangible. It gives men encouragement
and lightens the burden somewhat.” A tall, raw-boned
infantryman walked up next to Morton and looked out
over the expanse of water, “Well buddy, I reckon it’s
over for us.”
