Every veteran has a story to tell--often ones they have not told their
own families. But as one vet in this collection of original interviews
succinctly said of his combat experiences: Some things are better left
unsaid. Documenting recollections from survivors of World War II, Korea,
Vietnam and other conflicts--all residents of the Texas Panhandle--this
book presents narratives from men and women whose young lives, for good
or ill, were defined by their participation in warfare in service to
their country.
