    About this ebook

    If you take a good look at the cover of the book, you will see a picture of a little boy and his sister, taken in the early 1920s in the state of Oklahoma. That picture represents the beginning of his journey. Darrell Starks story begins with the first seventeen years of his life, including the hardships that he endured, along with the deep sense of perseverance and overwhelming capacity for love that he learned along the way.
    The second part of his journey begins when he enlisted in the United States Army and requested duty in the Philippine Islands. He was in the Philippines when World War II began. He fought in three of the four major battles in Bataan before it was surrendered by General King. At that time, Darrell Stark was captured and became a Prisoner of War of the Japanese for three and a half years.
    The third part of his journey begins with his liberation in September of 1945. At that time he returned to the United States to his loving and loved family, and struggled to come to terms with a multitude of physical and psychological problems.
    The fourth part of his journey begins when he met his wife and moved to the state of Connecticut, where he was a recipient of the kindness and confidence of many wonderful people. That helped him to get a start in life despite his war experience. As the third picture on the cover will indicate, he moved on to acquire a position of responsibility and trust and to maintain a successful and rewarding life.
