On Thunder Road

At the apex of the Civil Rights movement in America a young man from New Jersey was deployed to fight in our nations first fully integrated war. Assigned to the 1st Infantry Division from October 1967 to October 1968 he shared the experience of combat with young men from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Embracing their differences they used their diverse backgrounds to draw on strengths and combined wisdom to deal with the dangers and difficulties that is combat. Each man brought to the experience his own form of wit humor and common sense while working together they learned what it took to survive.
