Sgt. Libby: 100 Years of Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692956274)

Sgt. Charles A.. Libby served as an M20 Command Car Driver in the 628th Tank Destroyer Battalion in the European Theater of Operations. Attached to General Patton, Sgt. Libby drove officers into battles like The Battle of The Bulge and The Battle of Hurtgen Forest as well as liberating cities all over Europe! Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, Sgt. Libby spent his time swimming the waters of the Susquehanna River, climbing the tall mountains and hunting for the rich supply of game animals that live within the lush forests near his home of Williamsport, PA. A member of the CCC Camp in Benton, PA, young Charles Libby learned several trades and was inspired to join the military shortly after his stint in Camp Morton. His love for dancing started at a young age and still continues through today! At 100 years old, Sgt. Libby is still very active, lives at home, drives a car and dances each and every week at a local hall with other seniors and veterans alike! This follow up book to his first entitled "From The Command Car" is the perfect book-end to his blessed life and the stories that he shares with hundreds of people each month along with author and biographer, Steve Hunter. Stories of his childhood playing with friends, a Christian upbringing, joining the CCC Camps to aid in the financial burdens that his family felt during the Great Depression and finally going to war and meeting the destiny that would define him for his entire life. Returning home safe and sound without having sustained a war-type injury, taking German prisoners, liberating American POW's from the hands of the Nazis and stories of the men he served under and with, all enthrall readers and those who witness his personal speeches. A man that carried a Letter of Protection through the entire war also shares how he allowed others to copy it and keep it with them as a sign of their faith and their love for Jesus. His ministry still continues to this day as he passes out copies of the very same letter that he credits as helping him stay alive throughout the entire bloody war! A must-read, Sgt. Libby - 100 Years of Stories, will be a book that will be looked at in another 100 years as bringing light on a subject of how these men and women lived and how they were known to be called "The Greatest Generation!"
