It is with great pleasure that I have been requested to endorse this book, "I Guess I'd Start My Own War" by Hugh Roberts, Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) class of 1956. He and I are fellow graduates of VFMA in Wayne, PA, covering a span of twenty-four years between our graduations, we still continue to share many of the same common experiences as when we were cadets. Pleases enjoy this most interesting account of 1st. Lt. Eric Wood, Jr. and his experiences during the Battle of the Bulge where he and his command performed heroic deeds during the last great conflict of World War II in 1944-45.
