Charlie and GI’s Best-Kept Secret in the Far East
by Charles Mathews
U-Book International
Charlie and GI’s Best-Kept Secret in the Far East tells about
Charlie’s life as a brat and later, some of his civilian life, and the life
in general of many military men stationed in the Far East. While I am not
proud of my past life before and after going to the Far East, it must be
told. We must know what the problems of military men especially while
stationed in the Far East, in order to try and solve and prevent them.
Charlie and GI’s Best Kept Secret in the Far East talks about what
our men are doing while on an overseas assignment. We, the American people,
must do what we can to help our G.I.’s before they go overseas as well as
after they are gone. Through prayer and family involvement, things can
change.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Charles Mathews thought about writing Charlie and G.I.’s Best-Kept Secret in
the Far East some years ago. But he didn’t until his children were grown,
hoping they will know and understand the difference between the past and
present. Finally, he decided it was time for others to know some of the
things that some of our men are doing while overseas.
Charles believes in honor, duty, and country. He joined the military and
spent twenty years to protect the rights of himself and others, and to
ensure that Americans keep their freedom.
After four years in the Air Force and sixteen years in the Army, he retired.
Charles promised himself he would one day wear a cap and a gown, and
graduate. During grade school he was suspended from school property for
fighting, and was not allowed to attend his class graduation. He went into
the military before graduating from high school. On May 12, 1984, he
graduated from Shaw University, Raleigh, NC, with a B.A. degree in criminal
justice. He was so happy to march across that stage, he still has the cap
and gown.
Charles is a born-again Christian and is a member of a good local church. He
volunteers his time to help keep the area around his church and the street
in front of it picked up of debris.
Many thank him, but it is not necessary.
Charles loves golfing, fishing, and traveling.
