About this title

Review:

An excellent book. - Military Review ""I salute all of these Kentucky heroes, as well as Kelly, who reminds us of what these old soldiers cannot forget."" - Bob Edwards ""A fascinating collection, all the more because it's a book about people you may have known or certainly knew whence they came. It could have been the boy next door or a small town neighbor, and it could have been any war at any time."" - Louisville Courier-Journal ""They were there, all right - and you're right there with them!"" - C. Brian Kelly, World War II Magazine ""Possesses important lessons in combat and leadership."" - Leatherneck
