16 Million Americans served in World War 2. 16 Million Americans were willing to give their all.16 Million bakers, and truck drivers. 16 Million farmers, plumbers, shopkeepers and welders. 16 million of every kind of American from every corner of the country. From every city and every town and every countryside they came. They were ordinary, everyday Americans. The war was won with ordinary Americans, not 16 Million John Waynes, not 16 million seasoned warriors, but the citizen soldiers that set off to free the world because it was the right thing to do. Those shopkeepers, and those truckdrivers, set out as liberators, not as conquerors. They dreamed only of returning home to the life they left behind. The home and the life they loved. They would have never though of themselves as the greatest generation. To them, the greatest generation was the one they were fighting and dying for, the next generation. This is a true story of some of those ordinary people and of their extraordinary times in the crossroads of history. When American soldiers form a lifelong bond. When one American soldier struggled to find the courage he never knew they had, for the future he thought he'd never see. An amazing true story that will make you laugh and cry and make your heart pound as the characters come to life. Read about the human side of history that they left out of the books. Be proud of where we came from. Be proud of who we are.
