Very sad, and all stories related were thought-provoking and sobering.

This book will have you glued cover to cover. It will also make you thank your vets!!! You can never imagine what they went through and how humble they are. The quote that sums it up is "I wouldn't trade it for a million dollars, yet I would not give you 2 cents for another day of it." This book is worth every penny because it is the GREATEST GENERATION!!!
After reading the first book and wanting more, I picked this one up. Even the cover photograph tells a story. I truly enjoyed the letters that were sent home, etc. It is really hard to picture these so young men and women going through so much. But, these hardships are what made them the Greatest Generation. Once again, it leaves you wishing that there are more books!!
Very compelling and interesting.

This book was very good reading. You learn why they are called the greatest generation. You find out about them before the war. What they did in the war. What they did after the war. Theirs was the greatest generation because the whole country pitched in, in any way they could to win the war.
