Inhaltsangabe

A list of the significant events of World War II would include Pearl Harbor, D-Day 6 June 44, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Battle of the Bulge, Anzio, air and naval battles in the Pacific, Bataan, Northern France and Germany. We tend to overlook the fact that young men from big cities and small towns, leaving families and farms to don a uniform and engage a fierce and determined enemy, fought these pivotal battles. The great military effort of planners, manufacturers, and transporters of material, ultimately depended upon the fortitude, determination, and courage of young men, seventeen to twenty-two years old, who faced the enemy eyeball-to-eyeball.

These nine compelling stories are but a few of the thousands, most never recorded, who paid a tremendous price to preserve the many freedoms we enjoy today.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

This is Norman Rudi’s fourth biography about those who served in World War II. The native of Glidden, IA, served in WWII after the shooting stopped, as a paratrooper in the Army of Occupation in Japan. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma in Architecture in 1953, Rudi started his own firm and retired in 1994.

Rudi observes, "There are so many exciting and unique stories of persons who risked their lives to protect our freedoms during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Gulf Storm and Freedom for Iraq. These very personal stories should be preserved, so future generations will understand the true cost of freedom."
