Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that New Years Day is the anniversary of the birth of WWII Army intelligence veteran and American writer Jerome David Salinger who is better known as J.D Salinger author novel The Catcher in the Rye.
That story captured teenage angst and wanderlust in a gripping way.
Thanks for honoring Jerome David Salinger and I hope that J.D. Salinger is resting in peace.

"Salinger could speak both French and German and his work involved interviewing enemy prisoners and civilians. He formed a strong friendship with three other men in the CIC that would last decades. They dubbed themselves “The Four Musketeers.” One of them took the only known photo of Salinger writing The Catcher in the Rye during his army service."

Salinger personalized "the lonely author" by hiding away from public scrutiny but still amassing litigation and smear tales all over sordid publications. His magnum opus, "the Catcher in the Rye," has become canon material in the curriculum of American high schools.
