This is not good, thought Christopher as he looked around him. Smoke lingered in the air from the mortars and gunfire being fired at the landing fleet. Suddenly, they were drenched by the cold water of the English Channel, as a German shell exploded next to their landing craft destined for Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. It was June 6,1944. Wags, Will and Jack had parachuted into Normandy earlier this morning. Had they survived what was sure to be a death-defying jump? He had been down this path before, and the only outcome that was certain was that people died: good, decent people. Their mission? To free Europe from Hitler's and Nazi Germany's evil occupation.

About the Author: Retired after 25 years as an assistant prosecutor in Essex County, New Jersey, Eileen Cosgrove is publishing "The Fighting Hawks at D-Day" as a tribute to her step-son, LCpl. Christopher B. Cosgrove III. Christopher was killed by a suicide bomber in Al Anbar Province, Iraq on October 1, 2006. Inspired by Christopher's love of history, Eileen makes history come alive through the characters in "The Fighting Hawks at D-Day." Christopher lives on, fighting alongside his real life brothers Kevin and Brian. He teaches them and the reader history along the way. Never much of a history buff, Eileen began reading history so she could engage in intelligent conversations with Christopher. Once she began reading oral histories, she was hooked! She realized that the reason children do not like history is because of the way it is taught. In "The Fighting Hawks at D-Day," she finds a way to make history interesting and fun. Eileen is married to her husband Chris for 20 years and the mother of Kevin, 19, and Brian, 15.
