Description
xInfantrymen is the emotional story of Ralph Gordon, a typical American GI serving in Germany during World War II. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ralph enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of eighteen so that he could do his part to defend his country and way of life. After eleven months of fighting in the European Theater of Operations, Ralph was one of only three men from his company to survive from D-Day through to the end of the war. Join Ralph and the men of Company "C" 18th Infantry 1st U.S. Division as they cross the English Channel to storm Omaha Beach and battle through the hedgerows during the breakout. Fight beside them as they make their way through France and Belgium on their way to Germany. Finally, share in the pain of the many losses suffered by Ralph and his friends.

xAfter nearly two years serving in the European Theater of Operations, surviving D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge and serving as a guard at the Nuremberg Trials, Ralph J Gordon returned home to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ralph is the only child of Lewis and Clara Gordon. He entered the army at the age of 18 and wrote this book upon returning home at the end of his duty. He is one of only three surviving men from his company who stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day. Ralph was featured in Life Magazine as "A Typical G.I. in Germany" in the October 1945 issue. He received numerous citations for bravery and valor including both a Bronze Star and Silver Star. On August 20, 1950 Ralph wed Ricki Perlin and is the proud father of Mark, Stuart, Kenny, Kathy, Beth and Donna. He is also the devoted grandfather of Scott, Amanda, Lindsay, Jeffery and Jenna. Ralph, sadly, passed away in October 2010.
