The Girl in the Red Beret

It was 1942 and America was at war with the world…again. They met on a train. He wore his Master Sergeant’s uniform resplendent with ribbons across his chest. She wore a jaunty red beret. He was immediately smitten; she was impressed with his uniform and curious about this man, George Middleton. She held out her gloved hand and introduced herself. “I’m Carolyn Allen.” And so it began.
