In the '30s and '40s, and throughout the '80s, our country depended on news sources with no political spin. Without social media, people spoke face-to-face or by telephone. These were kinder times when the values of honesty and integrity were expected. WWII was soon followed by the Korean and Vietnam wars and, with Selective Service, all eligible males were subject to serving. Running concurrently with these "hot" wars was the long Cold War, which affected millions of Americans and our loyal allies. The world seemed to be teetering on the brink of a devastating nuclear war. Former enemies became our trusted allies, and our Western allies remained close. Life became less localized, and people who never expected to travel beyond a few states were suddenly seeing the world. Times were rapidly changing, and the simple life was fast fading. One thing did not change however-people still found ways to meet and fall in love. In this entertaining story spanning eighty years, two people, in countries separated by 4,000 miles of land and ocean, could never have imagined God's plan for the series of seemingly random events in their lives that would someday bring them together. They would meet, fall in love, and together overcome obstacles and share a life of growing faith and continuous adventure.
