Twenty-Five Years follows Kenneth from birth. He grows to adulthood during the darkest times of the 20th century. As Kenneth reaches adulthood he makes decisions and choices about his life going forward. The twenty-five-year clock starts ticking. Life is abruptly changed when the Second World War breaks out. We follow Kenneth on his journey with the Navy. He serves in both the Atlantic and the Pacific Wars. Life takes him from North Africa to the coast of Indo-China. Actual stories from his war diary; the humorous, the tedious, as well as the grim, are retold. After the war he returns to his hometown where he meets the woman who will become his wife. We follow his life further. His Conversion to Catholicism. His marriage. His homes. His cars. His nieces. His nephews. His hopes and his dreams. And then, finally, children of his own. Time's up. The story unfolds during an age of innocence. Twenty-Five Years is the story of an All-American man from the greatest generation-my father.
