About the Book

Approximately 16 million Americans served as Allied forces during World War II from 1941-1945. More than seven decades later, only a scattered few of those people remain to tell about their experiences. Kayleen Reusser presents a third volume of poignant tales from interviews she has conducted with 250 World War II veterans around the nation. Memories from men and women raised mostly on humble farms and in small towns bring the war to a personal level. Often lonely, exhausted, hungry, and cold, these soldiers served in places and participated in events few could have imagined growing up. Their bravery and fortitude remained evident as they persevered to win that mighty war that threatened the world. Kayleen Reusser has interviewed military veterans of many eras. She is the wife and mother of Air Force airmen. This is Book 3 of her World War II Legacies series. We Fought to Win: American WWII Veterans Share Their Stories (Book 1) and They Did It for Honor: Stories of American WWII Veterans (Book 2) were published in 2014 and 2017. KayleenReusser.com
About the Author: Kayleen Reusser has interviewed hundreds of veterans of all eras beginning with World War II. Her military stories have been published in magazines, newspapers and books, including the News-Sentinel, America in World War II magazine, and others. We Gave Our Best: WWII Veterans Tell Their Stories contains 34 stories of men and women from around the U.S. who served in the Army, Army Air Corps, Navy, Marines. In June 2017 Reusser and her husband participated in a 2-week World War II tour of Europe, including France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg with visits to Normandy, Paris, Nuremberg, Dachau, Reims, and other significant areas. When speaking to groups about the tour and her hundreds of interviews with WWII vets, Reusser shows photos of Normandy Beach, Hitler's retreat center called Eagle's Nest and the courtroom in Nuremberg where war criminals were tried, while adding comments shared by veterans about being in those places during the war. Reusser has written 16 non-fiction middle-grade children's books on Greek mythology, celebrity biographies, ethnic cookbooks and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects. She is the wife and mother of Air Force airmen. "Writing stories of American military is my way of supporting our Armed forces," she said. KayleenReusser.com
