From the small town in southern Minnesota where he grew up, he was sent around the world to the Pacific Island called the Philippines. It was World War 2, and Jacob Wesley Zimmerli was part of the US Army. Specifically, he was a member of the 96th Infantry, a division called The Deadeyes. This is the story of his days serving his country, from enlistment until he was home again. Relatives of soldiers from WWII who have never heard their father's or grandfather's story of their time in the war will find this a great resource. For many, it has been a resource for closure and understanding of what their loved ones and relatives endured in the second half of World War Two in the Pacific theater.

Told without fanfare or gory details, this is the story so many soldiers lived. Nearly 300 WWII Veterans are dying each day, many without ever telling their stories to anyone. This is the telling of the stories lived by this one soldier. This is One Soldier's Story.
