    James Rookard was 19 when his truck company drove in the famous Red Ball Express, the U.S. supply lifeline that allowed frontline units to advance and force a German retreat from France. Over just three months, drivers delivered 412,000 tons of gas, food, ammo and other materiel around the clock. Photo courtesy James Rookard.
