Vito Tomasino

Ezdy & Me, Our Improbable Journey (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ezdy & Me is more than a memoir, it's a living archive of courage, love, and legacy, a masterclass in storytelling from someone who didn't just witness history, he flew through it. Each chapter pulses with urgency, grit, and the quiet confidence of a man who never backed down from a challenge, a man who led by example, not rank. His own words best underscore the ethos that permeates his writing: "I don't want anyone else doing my dying for me."

The author doesn't romanticize war but honors its truths and the men and women with whom he served. His work is not just a collection of stories it's a legacy, a tribute to Ezdy, their children, and a love that carried them through the darkest and brightest of times. Vito and Ezdy didn't just survive history, they helped shape it. Their story, as told in his book, preserves it.

Autorenporträt

• Vito Tomasino was only a boy when the bombs rained down on Pearl Harbor pulling America into WWII. As he watched the grim images of war flash before him in a darkened movie theater in Bellmore, L.I. he silently vowed to be in the next one. When his high school friends questioned his decision to join the Marines and go to Korea, he replied: "I don't want anyone else doing my dying for me." He joined the 1st Marine Division in Korea just weeks before the truce ending the war was signed; time enough to get "shot at and missed," he would say. His war over, he pursued a boyhood dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, served two combat tours in Vietnam, earning two Distinguished Flying Crosses; and, when he wasn't getting shot at, stood watch on bases surrounding the old Soviet Union during the Cold War to ensure that Russia remained behind her "Iron Curtin." When Muammar Gaddafi brought down the Senusi regime of King Idris, Vito was there, training the fighter pilots of the Libyan Air Force; one of whom was killed on a night mission over Tripoli. When he suggested that a special ceremony be flown honoring his fallen friend, the Libyan Commander insisted--despite the risk to his career, perhaps, even his life-- that Vito lead the "Missing Man Formation," or it would not be flown. It's one of the many intriguing tales of his previous "Close Calls" editions carried over into his new book, Ezdy & Me. Vito started his writing career rather late in life and has written only three books, each one a different genre. All of them ring with the same passion, the same adventurous spirit, and the same truth, that could only come from one who "walked" in that history. It was a life lived during one the most tumultuous periods in recent history, that inspired the author to record his and his wife's participation in those events while they were still fresh in his mind. Through his books, Vito's story of courage and sacrifice speaks to anyone who understands the cost of freedom.
