Soldiers' Stories: A Collection of WWII Memoirs, Volume II - Myra Miller

Descriere Soldiers' Stories: A Collection of WWII Memoirs, Volume II - Myra Miller

\n \n For over five years the Miller Family, Myra Miller, PhD, Ken Miller, Del Miller, Marshall Miller, and Lynette Miller Ballard, have zealously gathered memoirs of World War II servicemen and servicewomen. In 2016 they published Soldiers' Stories: A Collection of WW II Memoirs. Now, on the 75th anniversary of the end of the war, they have given us a second volume. Were it not for the Miller Family, most of these stories would not have seen the light of day. Tom Brokaw popularized the phrase The Greatest Generation. Read the stories and you will see why the title is deserved by all 16 million men and women who served so proudly. \n \n Here are the mysteries of courage, the terrors of violence, and the cruelties and coincidences of war. Here, also, are reminders of the humorous events and day-to-day life of those war years. Our first book collected stories our father told us and accounts of other WWII veterans. More narratives demanded a second volume. History is alive. As any veteran will tell you, our future depends on the choices we make now, choices based on our understanding of the past and the meaning of war. Each person's story speaks of the precious gift of life and our common humanity beyond national borders.\n
