An amazing generation of men and women arose during the Second World War and changed the face of America and the world forever. Many of us proudly know these now elderly folks. Decades ago they were young men and women, starting their lives and some of them losing their lives in the war.
Around the time of his own father's funeral ten years ago, David Everitt read a letter from a friend of his mother's first husband, Sam Kramer, who was killed in combat just days before the end of World War II.
The letter establishes that Sam was a war hero, and that his death was not merely an accident of war. While Everitt had consciously ignored the history of his mother's first marriage, even though she had saved each of Sam's letters from the battlefront, he is now prompted to learn more about Kramer and about his mother's past.
Remembering Sam takes readers back to World War II America, to the days of Rosie-the-Riveter patriotism, the brutality and terror of the front lines, and the aftermath of war on its civilian survivors.
Remembering Sam is available today for the Kindle for only $2.45.
