From the back of the book
My interest in WWII began when I discovered my deceased uncle had received a Purple Heart during his military service. No one in the family knew the circumstances for this honor. It was this event that sparked an interest in my family’s history as well as the accounts of nearly seventy WWII veterans.
It’s important to know what WWII veterans endured, suffered, and survived. Read their heartfelt stories; thank them whenever possible. They are incredible, humble men and women.

“My admiration for those veterans who trained and guided me was unbounded. I will always salute, remember, and tell the stories of how much their service meant to me, my family, and my country.”
