Fredrick L. Pumroy never knew what his father or grandfather’s life experiences were except for stories some of there friends told as they avoided talking to their kinfolk about their old day happenings. He had several unique experiences which were tied to historical events. He also was a dedicated husband who loved his family but was still dedicated to serving his country even though it meant being away from them for long durations. He also wanted to show how a Christian can go through life in cycles of doing things not so Christian to doing things that serve others in need. So he decided to write down an account of his life long experiences from birth to retirement. It was initially written to provide a historical document for his descendents, so they will know the trials and tribulations their father and grandfather went through. It is an attempt to capture his real life experiences and describe how those experiences impacted the life of those associated with him. His final reason for writing this book is to give an example of how a person growing up under poor economic conditions could be successful in life and tries to answer the question: why do people do dangerous things even though it may cost them their lives. He also wanted to provide his extended family and all the other people living through similar experiences the incentive to trust in God and follow the philosophy that "You can do whatever you put your mind to, if it is God's Will."
