      I, Patrick Roy,  was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1947. This book, Memoirs of My Army Days During The Cold War 1965 Through 1968, tells readers about the day-to-day life of a soldier stationed in West Germany, on duty and off duty.

      I, Patrick Roy,  was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1947. This book, Memoirs of My Army Days During The Cold War 1965 Through 1968, tells readers about the day-to-day life of a soldier stationed in West Germany, on duty and off duty.


      This is where my book takes you: back in time, through my Army experience as an 18-year-old, I entered the Army directly after graduating from high school...much to my mother's frustrations. I started with training in New Jersey, went to Louisiana,  and then across the Atlantic to Germany.  I guve readers a firsthand, day-to-day account of the life of a soldier during the Cold War. I recount humor-filled and extracurricular events in addition to the strict and severe command of the Army rules. 


      Most notable, however, is all of the shenanigans I and other soldiers in my company would get up to. Each chapter chronicles a different phase of training, a memorable event, or a new location where duty brought them. The book reveals themes of curiosity, fun, and, of course, if you can imagine being in the mind of a 19-year-old man in the army: girls. "There's much humor and no politics involved."


      I also traveled to other countries besides England, including a few trips to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and the beaches on the North Sea.  I visited many places of interest and even took a hike up the Alps in southern Germany.
