A Voice from the past
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Anyone enjoying reading memoirs of veterans from WWII will find this work compelling. The only difference is this is a memoir from the grave - the thoughts, actions, hopes and dreams of a very young man who died at nineteen in the frozen Ardennes in 1945. He was in law school at eighteen. I had the pleasure to write the forward for this work, and Morris Redmann was indeed special: faithful, humorous, poetic, and patriotic; a man we would all have loved to have known. He left us his letters to do just that. Ronald J. Drez
Heart-warming glimpse of the All American Boy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is a labor of love. A younger child's devotion to an older sibling. Morris B. Redmann, Jr. was the eldest of 10 children. He once said that it is a "Noble Obligation to serve one's country..." This book is a compilation of his letters home (V-mail) that were steadfastly kept by his Father and preserved for all time by my Father the author. It was the infamous shoebox full of letters that Uncle Morris wrote home that my Dad kept in the attic and always said he would write a book about them one day. Well, he did! And what we have is a heart-warming glimpse into a young American Boy's life. One that he sacrificed gladly for his country and for the Liberty that we all enjoy. Although he is laid to rest in the Luxembourg American Military Cemetary, his spirit lives on in his siblings and now for posterity, in the words and writing of his little brother, Kerry P. Redmann! Consummatum est!
