Title: With tribute to my father
Product review: I was intrigued by a review in my local Sunday paper and so ordered this book online. My dad is a WWII vet who hasn't spoken much about his experiences. At the point in the book of the D-Day invasion of Iwo Jima, my reading brought back the visual reminiscences of Saving Private Ryan - the terrible reality of the violence of war. My dad and I were in his and my mom's garden where he was earnestly uprooting a tree stump when I told him about the book I was reading. "I was there", he said, very simply. I am 44 years old and one of 9 children of this vet who has been married for 50 years to the same woman and this was the first time that I'd ever ventured into this mysterious territory of my dad's war experiences. All I can say is that this book has been catalyst to my questions for my dad about a monumental period in his and this nation's life. I saw his tears in the garden that day.
