Victory Road is the story of a determined young soldier in an artillery battalion of the famous 9th Infantry Division of the U.S. First Army. The author accurately and compellingly describes a soldier's experiences in Army basic training, being shipped overseas to England in December 1943 on the ocean liner Queen Mary, further training in England, crossing the English Channel to Utah Beach in Normandy on D-Day+4, and then fighting the German forces for almost a year while living in the field during all four seasons. He explains how an artillery battalion functions, how it supports in battle the division's infantry regiments and in a fashion that brings to life what real combat action is all about. Baldridge earned a battlefield commission to second lieutenant and was awarded a Bronze Star medal for the part he played as an artillery forward observer up front with the infantry in all of the many major battles that the First Army fought. He also ties in his experiences with what was going on at the same time with the larger picture at higher levels of command on up to SHAEF. The author concludes with stories of his occupation duties near Munich, and personal observations of his about the Germans at that time. Finally, going back home "on points" in January 1946 after missing three Christmas's there while overseas in four countries. What adds even more to this book is his recounting of his family's experiences during those wartime years. His father, a World War I artillery captain in 1918 in France and later a U.S. Congressman and lawyer in Nebraska, was instrumental in helping to get Congress to pass the 1940 Selective Service ActÑthe "Draft"Ñand then joined the Army Air Forces. His brother, Malcolm, was also an artilleryman and forward observer, serving as a first lieutenant with the 27th Infantry Division during the final battles against Japan on Okinawa. 177 photos, 3 illustrations, 6 maps, 30 documents. A Merriam Press World War II Memoir.

Fresh, Creamy, and Perfectly Ripened!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
These Hass avocados were excellent quality and arrived fresh with great texture and flavor. They ripened evenly, had creamy smooth insides, and no brown spots or stringy texture like you sometimes get with other avocados. Perfect for avocado toast, guacamole, salads, or just slicing onto sandwiches. The size was great, and they stayed fresh for several days after ripening. Definitely one of the better avocado purchases I’ve made — I’ll be buying these again!

Fresh, good size, and reliable for same-day orders
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Good quality avocado, exactly what you expect when ordering one ✔️ Arrived as the correct size and weight ✔️ Not bruised or overripe ✔️ Fresh and ready to use ✔️ Good add-on for same-day delivery ✔️ No issues with quality ✔️Slightly cheaper than my local supermarket I ordered a single avocado and it came exactly as expected in both size and weight. It wasn’t bruised or rotten, which is always a concern when ordering produce that someone else picks for you. It was in good condition and ready to use. This is a good option if you’re running low and want to add one to a same-day delivery order without having to go to the store.

Good choice.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was really surprised... I was worried I'd get too ripe or super not ready avocados ordering from amazon but these turned out great. Good quality, acceptable size, no bruising, tasted great with a little olive oil and salt. Would get again!

Perfect
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Smaller than anticipated but perfect size for 1 person. Will buy again! Loved that they put 3 frozen bottled water in the bottom of an insulated bag to keep them fresh since I wasn't home when they were delivered. @68 cents a piece, the value for the money = 100%. Borderline ripe but perfect to use today or in a few days.

Didn’t ripen well for me.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought these avocados while they were still very green, hoping they would ripen at home. Unfortunately, when they did soften, the inside had dark spots and didn’t look fresh. The texture wasn’t what I expected either. I’m not sure if it was just this batch, but the ripening process didn’t turn out well for me.
