Many World War II veterans returned to the United States of America and wrote autobiographies and memoirs about their life adventures.
Gold Star children also wrote memories of their fathers, with some seeking to learn more about men who never returned home.
But children who were products of short-term affairs during this time often knew little about their fathers. This book describes Richard L. Hartness Sr.'s quest to learn more about his dad - as well as his mother's plan to reveal his father's name on her own timetable.
Growing up, the author felt that his mom's husband was not his father. When he asked her about his dad, she replied, "He went off to war and never came back." When he pressed her for more information, she'd say, "Someday, you'll know."
That day finally came for the author, and this memoir highlights his search for the truth along with his family's riveting history.
A community activist, Hartness has served on the boards of several organizations, the most recent being the Arkansas Delta Byways, the AState Alumni Association, and the Friends of the Arkansas State Archives. Currently he is president of the Northeast Arkansas chapter of the Military Officers Association of America and commander of the Red Wolf Alumni Battalion at AState in Jonesboro, where he received a commission in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1967.
His scholarship in Russian history and geography of the USSR, enhanced with a top-secret clearance, and branch training in Military Intelligence, helped earn him an assignment as the Order of Battle officer at V Corps G2 in Frankfurt/Main, Federal Republic of Germany, just before the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. For his performance during those tense days, he received an Army Commendation Medal.
Inspiration behind his personal advocacy for Arkansas topics initially came from listening to his maternal grandmother describe her family photograph collection. This was enhanced through fifty-eight years of curiosity about who his soldier-father was - the subject of this current endeavor. Richard and his wife, Herberta, are currently living in Jonesboro.
