This is a story that needs to be heard by everyone. Freedom isn’t free, it is bought and paid by the blood of heroes called Soldiers, who gave their all to keep the USA free of tyranny and evil. Freedom can easily be lost by those who take it for granted, unfortunately an all too common occurrence these days. If you want to know a true hero, read this book. True heroes are not those in power or prestige, they are the ones who leave family and home behind to endure unimaginable circumstances to fight for something greater than themselves. This book is about those heroes, some who gave everything and did not return home. For many who lived, the war did not end upon return to home. This book brings to light little known acts of valor by common, ordinary men. A true, first person account of the horrors of Okinawa, well read by the narrator. How many would pay this kind of price in today’s world to stay free?
