Words From The Heart...When America''s Veterans Speak Individuals who did not have the opportunity to hear about the military experience of family members or friends, perhaps because many were reluctant to share their stories, as well as others who simply want to understand what war time military service was really like, will benefit from reading this book. Redmond and Prouty share first-hand accounts of men and women who served in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. Redmond has been interviewing veterans for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project for nearly 20 years. "From the War to end all Wars Redmond takes us to Normandy in Europe, the Inchon landing in Korea, the rice patties of Vietnam, the Mother of all Battles and the other campaigns in the Middle East where our nation''s heroes tell their story in their own words. On the ground, sea and in the air, these words tell of heroic actions where "all gave some and some gave all". Her book reminds us that we live in the Land of the Free because it was also the Home of the Brave--may it always be." General Dennis J. Reimer, U.S. Army (Ret), 33d Chief of Staff
