The book is very touching, you feel that you know these young men and their families. It helps us to see the price many paid so we can live the lives we do. It was trully a Great Generation, we may feel times or bad or that things are rough but most of us will not see in a life time the things these young men experienced in a few hours or days. How many of us would travel 2600 miles to set a story straight about a friend? Could we measure up!
