Download or read book REMEMBRANCE Volume I written by Benjamin Blair and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty four years I've brought American veterans from all over the United States to high schools in Oregon to share their military experiences during times of war with the students. Over the years, as I became friends with many of these veterans, they began to open up and share with me. Many veterans refused to talk for years but reached out to me as they become older as they wanted their stories remembered. Even their spouses and children had never heard many of these shared stories. This book is also unique as it includes chapters from American veterans of many races, all of whom have served their country with great pride. We must not forget all of these men's and women's stories, lest we forget the cost they gave for our freedom.
