My Dad's: The Men of Two Wars

By Elizabeth Sullivan

What if the greatest stories your fathers ever lived were the ones they never told?

Elizabeth Sullivan grew up with two fathers-her biological father, a U.S. Marine who fought on the front lines of Okinawa during World War II, and the stepfather who helped raise her after her mother's remarriage, a decorated fighter-bomber pilot who flew more than one hundred combat missions during the Korean War. Though both men profoundly shaped her life, neither spoke much about the wars they endured or the sacrifices they made.

Years later, after her stepfather's passing, Elizabeth returns to the family farm to help her aging mother sort through decades of memories. Hidden away in attics, crawl spaces, and forgotten boxes, she uncovers military records, flight logs, photographs, keepsakes, and long-buried family treasures that reveal the extraordinary lives of the two men she simply called Dad.

As she pieces together their remarkable histories, Elizabeth also revisits her own journey through grief, a blended family, unexpected loss, and the enduring bonds that define home. With every discovery, she gains a deeper understanding of the courage, resilience, and quiet strength that shaped both fathers-and the legacy they left behind.

My Dad's: The Men of Two Wars is a moving memoir of family, sacrifice, military service, and the hidden stories that deserve to be remembered. It is a heartfelt tribute to two remarkable fathers whose lives spanned two different wars, but whose love and influence became one unforgettable legacy.
