So now I have a question for you: what are the stories that have not yet been told? The stories that are your legacy,your history?
Of our 600-odd World War II veterans, only 12 have shared their stories so that their memories and experiences of the tragedy that was the war they fought through have been recorded for all time and so that we might learn the lessons they have left us.
