The true stories of 34 men and women who helped save America in WWII, Korea, and the Cold War has all the drama and pathos one would expect of warfare memoirs. More than that...
"A unique feature of this book is the telling of how these same courageous Americans went on in their post-war years to raise their families, lead productive lives and continued to enrich and strengthen American society. Larry Bailey has written a must-read tribute to thirty-four of our neighbors who without any fanfare continue to quietly live in our midst and contribute to the well-being of Nevada County, California, and our country." —by Major General O. K. Steele, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.)
"Larry Bailey shares the fascinating life journeys of 34 hometown heroes and he does so with the skill and sensitivity of a veteran journalist. It’s not easy to do justice to lives that have been lived to their fullest and Larry has managed to take his readers around the world and back to a time when young Americans were asked to grow up far too soon... Their stories should serve as an inspiration to us all." — by Jeff Ackerman, Publisher and Editor, The Union Newspaper and Publishing Co.,
