Abstract:
America was deep into World War II in 1944, and it was at Anzio, Italy, during a night counterattack, that a shell from a German Tiger tank struck Sergeant John B. Worley in the chest. In the darkness, the critically injured Worley was pronounced dead. One brave soldier insisted, however, that John’s body be carried off the battlefield to the first aid station a couple of miles away so he could receive a proper burial. Upon arrival the medics found that the "body" was miraculously clinging to life. This is the story of John Worley’s amazing life. From his early childhood with his sharecropper family to his experiences on the WWII battlefield, John Worley has graciously shared his joy and his pain in a faithful recount of his amazing life that will keep you riveted to the book. John Worley has lived his entire life to the extreme, all for the love of God, for the love of his family, and "For the Love of Old Glory".
