I Once Was

Résumé du livre

Sgt Ross Martin Chisholm (1920 - 2002) WWII POW, father, husband, man of strong faith and conviction to live through the worst life has to offer and come home stronger for it. Today when we seek heroes, sometimes they are found right in our own heritage. Daughter, Sharon Wakefield, shares for the first time the memories and heart breaks her father wrote down as he journaled during his battle with cancer at the end of his life: memories that he wanted his daughter and grandchildren to understand and love him all the more. His only possessions during captivity: a canteen carved/signed by the other POW's, the Bible his mother had given him which he kept wrapped in a Red Cross parachute dropped to the prisoners of war with Hershey bars which only made them sick, and his family waiting for him when he returned home. Ross Chisholm: A life well lived and remembered.
