From Pearl Harbor to VE Day is the personal World War II memoir of Francis Gerrit Veldman, a young man from Muskegon, Michigan, whose Army service carried him from training camps in the United States to North Africa, Italy, France, and finally home just before Victory in Europe Day. Written in his own plainspoken voice, Veldman recalls enlistment, troop trains, searchlight duty, wartime travel, military friendships, danger, humor, homesickness, and the strange turns that carried him from the Coast Artillery to infantry service near the end of the war.

In September 1944, the Allies seized Antwerp in Belgium, the largest deep-water port in northwestern Europe at the time. It should have been a great boon. The Scheldt River was wide enough and deep enough to bring ocean-going supply ships from the North Sea directly into the heart of the Allied advance, finally easing the logistics crisis that had slowed the march toward Germany. However, the port was useless without control of the Scheldt Estuary, a 60-mile (100-kilometer) waterway connecting Antwerp to the sea.
