After participation in four major battles on board the aircraft carriers Saratoga, Lexington, Yorktown and Enterprise, he was transferred to Los Alamos to work on the atomic bomb. In the summer of 1944, JJ returned to action aboard the Enterprise and then the new Lexington. In early 1945, he crashed at sea and after 20 days adrift, he was captured by the Japanese. After a short stint on Chichi Jima, JJ escaped, but was recaptured and transported to Ofuna a prison near Yokosuka on mainland Japan. After supplying fake information to the prison commander about the atomic bomb, JJ was rewarded with visits and services of a beautiful Japanese girl named Asami. As the war continued, JJ and Asami fell in love. After the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese surrendered and JJ was forced to leave Asami and return to America and reunite with Autumn.

Book excerpt: The true story of a young couple who meet, fall in love, and become engaged during the uncertain days of World War II, "Cal & Jo" is based on 85 letters written in the early and mid-1940s by Cal when he was in training, overseas, and back home again. From very different backgrounds, their relationship faces seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and Cal's letters lovingly express how deeply he misses Jo. He has no idea when he will see her again, and plans for marriage give him hope and purpose throughout the war. Yet his dream is unexpectedly shattered when he finally returns. This story is a remarkable display of resolute determination in the face of grim historic events and a parade of personal challenges. Providing stirring inspiration and uplifting encouragement, Cal and Jo are two ordinary people whose relationship does not have an easy start, yet who choose to be together through one of history's darkest hours.

Book excerpt: "When Lois went to the train station to meet her fiance, coming home from almost four years of serving in the Pacific during World War II, she was terrified. Even though they had been engaged for more than a year, they had never embraced nor kissed. She hardly even remembered his voice, because she hadn't heard it for three years, except for one scratchy long distance phone call. Their entire romance had consisted of more than a thousand letters, as Lois wrote from her beauty salon in Willoughby, Ohio, and Jack wrote from his tent in one of several secret locations on Pacific Islands, as his Air Force outfit, the 11th Bombardment Group (H), the "Grey Geese," flew B-24s on bombing missions during the Americans' push toward Japan. "Love Always," through Jack's surviving letters, tells the story of a young couple who fell in love through their four year correspondence."--Amazon.com.

Download or read book The Kiss A Romance of Two Children written by Driskill Horton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to two precious people I called Mom and Dad by conveying their life story. The book takes excerpt from Mother and Dad’s diaries so they are obliquely able to convey their story. Part of what of the story concerns Mother’s self-portrayal detailing experiences from birth until her young husband was leaving to fight in World War II. It depicts Mom’s tender, loving attributes, which those that knew her had the privilege of experiencing. I honestly do not think she realized possessing such wonderful attributes, which made them all the more enjoyable for those of us who crossed her path on the road of life. Another portion is by Dad depicting his World War II story. Then I fill in by describing what occurred as seen through my eyes, which emerged from a lifetime of inspiration they produced by existing together authentically.
