I Walked with Heroes: The Early Days

 


Jerry A. Guzzetta, the author of the book I Walked with Hero’s explained tales of bravery, courage, and a patriotic feeling that doesn’t stop anyone from dying for the country. Guzzetta meticulously describes each and every detail of his life as a military personnel, and also shed light on the realities of war people often neglect. This story binds readers with its accurate portrayal of the term “war”, its impact, and consequences.

In the early segments of the book, author Guzzetta recounts his early life in an intriguing way. He precisely painted the picture of his childhood, family, the Italian heritage and culture that was deeply rooted in his familial bonds and norms to portray his background perfectly. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, his family quickly moved to California when he was a mere five-year-old, with him narrating the striking differences between the cultures of the two cities he lived in. A Sicilian Italian family by descent, the author outlines the rich family gatherings where his family, uncles, and cousins used to spend quality time along with each other. The author shed light on his grandfather, who came to the U.S surrounded by poverty, and worked his way through to live the American Dream.

The book then shifts to the childhood and school years of Guzzetta, where he recounts being someone without any clear direction of what to make of life in the future, humorously recalling the time when he thought of either joining any of the military forces, or doing nothing, and enjoying the life with a bunch other people on the beach. The book travels deep into the life of the author, creating a clear picture of his childhood, high school, first love, and then his transition to serve in the military and his experiences there. The author vividly recalls an incident from his family, where his father and uncles were counting on the glory of World War II, and relinquishing its dark realities. The book not only serves as a tribute to the men who’ve fought and died for their country, but also speaks of the often-forgotten realities of war where lives are lost, and families die waiting for their loved ones.
