About the Book

A farm family in Texas sent all six of its sons into military service between December 7, 1941 and November 22, 1963. Its only son-in-law also served. This is not a narrative about men who battled on foreign soil. Some never left the American continent; none ever fired a shot at the enemy.

Their stories tell of adventure, a mother’s broken heart, a father’s sadness, and the loneliness of brides left behind
