  4. I can proudly say that Buck Compton is a personal friend of mine and every good thing I’ve ever read about him is true. His book, Call of Duty, tells the rest of the story from his early childhood memories to the present day. All should read it.
    I would like to add that Buck is a devoted father and grandfather and in his 90’s still makes time to encourage young people to think and realise why so many brave men and women made such dear sacrafices for this country.
    Many vertrans struggle with the mystery of why they “made it” when so many did not… Buck’s legacy after the war serves as a great example of how one man can make a difference and honor the sacrafice of war for a generation ( or more).

  5. Mr. Compton, I just finished your book “Call of Duty”. I am a Vietnam War Vet (66-67) and a student of WWII history, as my father fought with the 8th Army Air Corps. Your book should be mandatory reading for every high school student in America. I believe they, their parents, and grandparents should have a full understanding of what it means to be a veteran, plus what the average citizen can do with their life. Thank you for writing it.
