About Your Author
David Jones
"I" was born in November 1944. I grew up in a three-bedroom house in Elmhurst, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. We were a middle-income, church-going family. My father was head of a mission society; he traveled a lot. My father Dr. Rufus Jones had two doctors degrees. He was invited twice to the White House under Pres. Ronald Reagan to discuss important foreign relations. My mother was a homemaker, and I had two older sisters and a younger brother.

At eighteen, I registered for the draft, knowing I had to spend at least two years in the active military or six years in the reserve. I loved my country, and I wanted to be the absolute best if I had to fight for her. I was convinced the Marine Corps was the best, and to be the best, I had to join up for four years.

My journey as a Marine began on September 26, 1963, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, CA.
First Duty Station, Yuma, Arizona, February 1964 I was asked and did join Intelligence for a special operation.

The rest, as they say, is history.

What you will learn with this Book

There is something for everyone to take away from reading this book. Patriotism, War, Loyalty, Morals, Deceit. What real love is. The Heroines Who Saved, Sacrificed and Loved Me. The sacrifices I have to make. Betrayal, Despair and Anger. Hope and how to cope. A light at the end of the tunnel. So many things one can learn and take away from this book. I will be very interested to hear your thoughts and respond to feedback.
I also feel this is an important story that had to be told. A few people who have known bits and pieces have wanted me to tell you my account over the years. This includes a Doctor I worked closely with. An attorney in Switzerland. My loving wife of now 35 years. I have not been able to tell this story until now.
