Memories of a Life in the Army

From the day he was born until the day he dies, author Louis W. Prentiss Jr., a retired major general, will have been a member of the Army; it’s an integral part of his life. In Memories of a Life in the Army, he shares a collection of vignettes collected from his career in the military service.

Humorous, poignant, and interesting, the stories and anecdotes narrate the path of Prentiss’ life’s journey through the military—from California to Omaha, Reno, Virginia, Germany, Korea, Peru, Vietnam, and Maryland. He details his memories of his family, the venues in which he lived, his schooling at West Point as an Army Cadet, and some of the places he served during his thirty-one year career.

With photos included, Memories of a Life in the Army provides insight into a young man who grew up in a unique environment at that time in history.
