A Common Man of the Greatest Generation: Doyle Edward Bruce

Doyle Bruce grew up in a simpler time in America. His East Texas family worked together to survive and endured the struggles of the Great Depression as best they could. He was working for the railroad when he and millions of other young men were called to fight in World War II. Doyle didn’t hesitate to join their ranks, even though he could have never imagined the sights and experiences he would encounter. The South Pacific is a long way from Lufkin, Texas. As Doyle sailed away from the States, he did not know what lay ahead. What he did know was not every man on that ship would come back. He also knew they were fighting for the freedom of all men. The fear, brutality, and atrocities of war will change anyone. Doyle did what he had to do to survive, but thankfully, his identity remained intact. In this unadorned story in Doyle’s own words, he recounts his life—its humble beginnings, his remarkable time as a soldier, raising a family as the country flourished and advanced around him, and how some of the most important events of the 20th century looked through the eyes of a hardworking family man from Texas.
