This is an autobiography with a healthy dose of humor. On page two the author identifies himself as a raconteur and then... More > goes on to prove his boast throughout the rest of the book. He takes us chronologically through the first seventy year of his life. He tells of his failures, his successes, and an intriguing and suspenseful personal love story. And interspersed throughout are bits of delightful humor. We begin in a working class neighborhood in Philadelphia. Then we follow him through a 21-year military career including three tours in Japan and culminating in the Pentagon. A high school dropout he earns a Bachelor’s degree and ends his working years as a Postal Service executive. At 57 he goes through the crucible of Cancer and becomes a changed man. At every turn in his life it seems as if fate (or perhaps a very active guardian angel) steps in and shows him the way. A full life and, as the author concludes, he was laughing all the way. < Less

There was a time and a place where the American G.I. (soldier, sailor, airman and Marine) lived a life of luxury, good times... More > and romance. The place was post-World War II Japan where American servicemen enjoyed a lifestyle never known to common soldiers before or since. It was the period from the close of hostilities in August 1945 through the 1950’s. American G.I.s were rich men in an impoverished nation full of young fun-loving ladies. They were kings. The Japanese girls treated the Americans well. And they, in turn, were treated well by their G.I boy friends.

This is a love story. It is a tragic story, yet it is sprinkled with humorous anecdotes about the shenanigans of young American servicemen. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and the unique surprise ending will leave you satisfied.

If you are a veteran of those fun-filled days in Japan, the author guarantees you will see yourself. < Less

About Burket E. 'Bud' Tyler

Author Image

Burket E. “Bud” Tyler (call me Bud!). Bud is a senior citizen, yet his heart will forever be seventeen. He loves to laugh and almost all his writing includes a touch of humor.
He enlisted in the Air Force on his seventeenth birthday and stayed for twenty-one years. While in the Air Force he was fortunate enough to participate in an educational program and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Mount Saint Mary’s College. After leaving the Air Force he went to work as a Postal Executive for the Postmaster General and spent twenty years at Postal Headquarters in Washington. .
One of his first books was a small work. “Words of Hope” written while he was fighting Cancer. It provides a collection of inspirational pieces designed to provide hope for the critically ill. His first Lulu book was his autobiography “Laughing All The Wary.” This was quickly followed with “We Were Kings” describing life in post-war Japan. Please enjoy my books and let me know what you think.
