Bob's Story

About the Book

This is a story of strength, of a normal, everyday citizen who has taken from a loving family and placed in extraordinary positions. Bob Moranda fought with honor, courage, conviction, and valor during one of World War II's most critical campaigns- the Battle of the bulge- and when captured suffered as a prisoner of war of the most Germans until released by the Russian Army.

For those who want to know what actual combat is like, those who need inspiration to meet life's challenges, and for those who want to know more about he "boys who saved democracy" this is much reading.
