Colonel David E. Green, USA (ret.)
is the co-author of Past in Review! According to the book description, “In
this book, the authors describe their contrasting culture, heritage, and childhood years. Sammet is the son of first generation
Hungarian-Americans who settled in Chicago. Green is the son of sixth generation Scotch-Irish country folks. The Green clan
settled in south Alabama when it was part of the Mississippi Territory occupied by Creek Indians. The focus is on their military
and aerospace defense industry experiences. Military service began after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor and ended with
their retirement in 1977. “Old” verses “new” army leadership is characterized by “warriors”
versus the “politically correct.” Their assessments are candid, critical, and sometimes harsh. These old soldiers
tell it like they saw it and like they did it. Photos, anecdotes, and war stories add humor and color.”
