World War II sounded the clarion call that galvanized America. That momentous day at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, etched “the day that will live in infamy” into the annals of history. The country resonated with a spirit of like-mindedness that proclaimed “we” have been attacked. Those who joined the ranks of our military spanned the tapestry of America. Men and women of many colors fought to keep tyranny from reaching our nation’s shores. At war’s end, with victory secure, they returned home in modesty to change the landscape of America.

This site and project is dedicated to the group that has come to be known as the “Greatest Generation”. It is being launched as the precursor to an upcoming book to be entitled A Tribute to Valor and Courage. The work will be a series of narrative biographies emphasizing the accounts of those who lived World War II. Their experiences span the globe ranging from surviving the brutal Bataan Death March in the Philippines, coming ashore in the fury of chaos at Normandy Beach to engaging the enemy in the China – Burma – India Theater.

As a preview on the website you’ll be afforded the opportunity to hear snippets of their wartime recollections captured in the book. Enjoy the tour and thank a World War II veteran today!
