The true-life events of a young man from the heartland of Wisconsin. An overseas WWII account of undeniable faith, courage and inspiration. WE CAME BACK ALIVE, the World War II Diary of Aloysius John Bobb U.S. Army Air Force Gunner The diary entries appear largely as written. Spelling and punctuation have been lightly standardized for readability. Occasional notes, photographs and WWII clippings have been added to clarify historical references with empirical data and research by the author. Footnotes keyed and numbered throughout book supported and captioned by August J. Bobb What follows are the words of a young man far from home, writing not for history, but for himself. He could not have known that decades later, his reflections would offer a window into courage, fear, and survival. All Chapters resonate the months of service during WWII in 1945. The dates of the pages are just as they appear within the diary with month, date, year, weather and day of the year. It is both an honor and a privilege to preserve this sacred piece of history for all generations. The perfect book to celebrate America's 250th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! “I'm ready to start. I came in the army to do my duty to God and my country. Now I have my chance to fulfill that obligation. Even though I might get hurt physically, I have the feeling I'm going to pull through.” AJB
