About the Book

The cover page of "Respect" shows three US Marines on Iwo Jima. One man is badly wounded. Hershel "Woody" Williams, a Medal of Honor holder from Iwo Jima, tells how using a flame thrower, he knocked out seven Japanese bunkers. The book has 13 chapters; 12 about World War II, and one about the Chosin Reservoir, a battle in Korea. This book is not just about combat stories; however, each veteran has shared his/her individual experiences. You will read about how their lives were interrupted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, how they met their wives and how the G.I. Bill provided them with an education. Three US Navy veterans tell about having to abandon ship. You will learn about how the US Coast Guard on Higgins Landing Crafts, took troops into enemy held islands in the Pacific and the invasion of Normandy. gliders were used during World War II. Two Glider pilots have detailed their landing troops in the Burma Theater, Normandy, Holland and Germany. The Force, called the black devils, was a unit with special trained American and Canadian troops who were the first to enter Rome. Three men share their experiences as prisoners of war; two were prisoners for 33 months. Respect shares stories about Nurses, Chaplains and JAG Officers. Three men kept dairies. All are facinating stories about over 40 true American heroes.
