Suspense Excercise II

Howard Dow Jones commanded his own tank. He had dreamed of commanding a tank since he was a child, and his dream became real only after a lifetime of hard work. At twenty-seven years old, Howard Dow Jones left his wife and children in Georgia, and went overseas to fight in the same wars that had inspired him to serve. His children, a little boy named Edward and little girl Bernice, loved their father and had dreams of their own: Bernice dreamed of being a pilot while her brother dreamed of commanding his own tank just like his father. But their father will not see them pursue their dreams. Howard Dow Jones will not see them grow, or marry, or graduate, but will return from the war to find his home burned down and his wife and children cinders.
