This is Harry's story who was raised during the Great Depression and spent his childhood struggling and sacrificing.

Uprooted 19 times by the age of 16, Harry spent his childhood on freight trains and hitch-hiking around the country, being sent out to beg for food to feed his family, working the fields of California and living out in the open under an old oak tree.

His determination to distance himself from an unhappy childhood led him to a life in the Army and into two war zones (World War II and the Korean Conflict).

His decades-long career in bomb disposal and the U.S. Army Infantry exposed Harry to more danger than one can imagine. But when it mattered most, good training, luck and God always seemed to be on his side.

Through it all, Harry held on to his steadfast belief that life is what you make it, determined to find happiness and by golly, he did!
