Well Done

A very moving look at the people who sacrificed so much for this country and did so quite selflessly. Their stories, feelings, and values are lovingly preserved here and provide inspiration to a currently valueless world.

I have heard so much of this before

I have heard so many stories from my deceased father that I felt so familiar with all of this. I only wish I had know Tom Brokaw was writing this book. I have an incredible letter written by my father, who flew a bomber in WWII. The letter was written after the troops were not allowed any contact with home, it describes their flights, and happenings in awesome detail.

A First Class Read and An Excellent Gift

...especially for any grandparent who went through World War 2. The first book was very good, but hearing these stories in first person was even better. It's hard to think what the world would be like without these heroic people!

This Generation Speaks to whom?

To whom will this generation speak ten years from now? You (if in WW2) were a part of it and it is a part of you. The writing is excellent and material well presented but for some of us it brings painful reminders. How can 20, 30 year olds undertand? From the Rabbi: I took a handful of ashes (from the crematorium) and rubbed them so I would not forget. Would that everyone take a handful of ashes!

Tremendous follow-up to GREATEST GENERATION

This is the perfect follow-up to last year's great book. The book's chapters are organized by subject -- and this is a very effective way of explaining the tremendous letters in this book. A great buy.
