While meeting Mr. Fred over the weekend, he showed us this book. It is collection of WW II stories and pictures from sailors, and soldiers that are from the piedmont area of the Carolinas. I knew upon flipping through it I knew that it would be a good read and something my own Father who hails from Western South Carolina would love. While some of the experiences that are told are quite comical, more are realistic and will bring a tear to your eye.
So, I jumped on Amazon and ordered a copy. It arrives today in the mail. I am excited over the thrill I know he will have when he opens this gift from us on Fathers day.
My buddy Rob yesterday mentioned On my post about Merrils Marauders that someone should record and save these veterans stories for the future, well this is one book that does that..its an insightful read for anyone, especially if you have a connection to the Carolinas.
