A Paratrooper’s Faith is a reprinting of a pocket-size notebook that had been sent to SGT George Tullidge III of the 82nd Airborne during WWII. Tullidge’s mother Anne Archer Tullidge had compiled the notebook using an assortment of poems, Bible verses and philosophical thoughts by a variety of people. Tullidge gained comfort from the contents of the ‘little book’. After his death during D-Day activities in France, his parents arranged for the duplication of the materials and distributed them to other soldiers.
A Paratrooper’s Faith opens with a letter from SGT Tullidge to his brother Tommy. George advises Tommy and youngest brother Arch to not let others influence them into going down the wrong path in life.
I read this book when I first did my cadet training, as an ROTC cadet at Texas A&M University, and I’ve cherished it since.
This blog is an attempt to make it more accessible to others, by posting each entry as a separate blog post.
I hope you enjoy it.
