Schroeder. Arno's life, told through his own words, reflects his deep personal faith in God, formative years far different than those experienced by today's youth, and a life filled with unique experiences, including those of a twenty-year-old Marine fighting and surviving the frontline battles of Okinawa during WWII. Taken individually as they were written, the topics of the stories are broad and wide-ranging--from historical, informative, and humorous to serious, silly, and reflective. But assembled as a collection, the individual stories become a book of the history of the Great Depression; the crazy antics of a restless, overactive young farm lad (who said of himself, \"...when I think of all the silly, dumb, stupid, crazy, unexpected and unusual things I always seemed to be doing, maybe I was all the entertainment my family could handle\"); the lifelong impact war has on those that have fought to defend America's freedoms; and the vastly different life experiences between individuals of the Greatest Generation and subsequent generations, just to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 540\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53575850098995,"sku":"9798891123717","price":32.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/ss7EkFDaOo9798891123717.webp?v=1783004799","url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/on-gods-payroll-from-the-depression-era-prairies-of-south-dakota-to-the-wwii-islands-of-the-south-pacific-and-back-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
