My Father's War: Memories from Our Honored WWII Soldiers

By: Valera, Charley

As the son of a World War II veteran, Charley Valera grew up believing his father simply had no stories to tell-until he discovered his old roll calls. Realizing that many families may never have heard the full stories of their loved ones' service, Valera set out to preserve those voices before they were lost.

In My Father's War: Memories from Our Honored WWII Soldiers, he brings together firsthand accounts from eighteen American veterans who served in World War II. Covering both theaters of war and all branches of the U.S. military, the book offers readers an inside look at the experiences of veterans from their respective branches of service. Through candid interviews, these men share what it was truly like-from leaving home and entering the unknown, to enduring the hardships, fear, and realities of combat.

Many of these stories were never fully told, even to their own families. Now, in their own words, these veterans provide a powerful, unfiltered look at war, sacrifice, and the lasting impact of their service. A documentary film-featuring nine of the veterans-has also been produced under the same title.

This updated edition preserves these voices for future generations-before they are lost forever.
