Book excerpt: Years have passed since the tumultuous and devastating World War II. For the families affected, all they could do is to try to piece their lives back together but the memories live on. Some can never forget or forgive and expect retribution. Their obsession drives them to decisions that will alter their lives. Lest We Forget begins where it’s prequel, The Long Road Home ends. John and Katharina’s daughter now has children that are grown, children that have questions about their ancestors. The next generation, John and Christine, now yearn to find out about their war hero grandfather after finding his long ago packed away journals that are filled with stories that were never shared. The two decide that the only way they can understand is to return to the place where it all started. What they don’t know is the danger that they will face as they begin their pursuit of learning more about him. Unaware of the uncertainty and hazards they will encounter that will change their lives, they decide to engage in their quest. The siblings find out that Germany is no longer the country that it once was. However, they discover that certain elements of prejudice and hatred remains. Among the hatred is the craving by a family for revenge against the descendants of the Eschmann family to which John and Christine belong. John and Christine soon learn that with everything there is a price to be paid. In their search both lives will be impacted and changed forever.

Download or read book Lest We Forget written by William C. Meacham and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It takes a special kind of man--and a special kind of courage--to routinely risk one's life for others. . . . Lt. "Wild Bill" Meacham was a former enlisted man turned UH-1 pilot assigned to Bravo Company, 101st Aviation Battalion, an assault helicopter company whose liftships were called the Kingsmen. Meacham quickly learned that the fighting in Vietnam wasn't confined to hot LZs: He killed nine enemies on the ground during the Tet 1968 defeat of the VC. Bravo Company carried troops and supplies for many units, but Meacham preferred flying insertions and extractions for the LRRPs of the 101st and for the men of SOG, whose operations frequently took them into Laos. From combat assaults in Cu Chi to night operations in the enemy-infested A Shau Valley to hot extractions from Laos, Meacham engaged in some of the most dangerous flying imaginable. As he hovered a few feet off the ground in LZs exploding with mortar shells and crackling with AK-47 fire, it was often only Meacham's relentless daring and calm hands at the chopper's controls that kept the men on the ground from the enemy--and certain death. The Kingsmen were held in the highest esteem by LRRPs and other special-operations forces throughout Vietnam. This heroic, harrowing, and utterly absorbing account is a powerful tribute to those men and their fearless reputation.
