*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A member of the Greatest Generation, John Paul Rogers exhibited the values often attributed to that group of Americans. John put his family and his country before himself. A child of The Great Depression, John rose from a hardscrabble Oklahoma childhood to a long and distinguished military career extending from World War II through Korea and Vietnam. Along the way, as an athlete, he earned 11 high school letters and went on to notable achievements in basketball and golf at Oklahoma University. He lost a beloved first wife to cancer, remarried, and became the patriarch of a large mixed family who all felt his undivided love. Through all his life experiences, he never lost his work ethic, his energy, his sense of humor and love of life. This life story, told in John's voice and the voices of his family, is etched on major events of the 20th century. It is for everyone touched by the life of John Paul Rogers--and anyone interested in looking in on a life well lived.
