Story of Six Boys

This is a story of six boys born in the early 1900s—one in particular, Rick Schuit, my dad. After losing his mother in childbirth, the story entails his early life through the 1930s.

In 1941, after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, Rick was drafted into the army. There, he met and served with my uncles in the Thirty-second Red Arrow Division of the U.S. Army.

This book narrates their lives, their escapades, and the battles they fought in New Guinea during World War II. It tells us of the conditions they endured, as well as the people whose paths they crossed, and how these affected their lives.
