Fifty years ago the world celebrated its victory over tyranny & the most trying times of the twentieth century. In the United States the war effort had embraced everyone. Nowhere was this more obvious than in the heartland, where people were united by camaraderie beyond the norm in confronting the challenges of World War II. Fifty years later, a catharsis occurs, & the citizens of one typical Midwestern community, Fort Madison, Iowa, tell all. They have stories of young men over Europe in B-17's, foot soldiers in every campaign in the European & Pacific theaters of war, POW's in German & Japanese hands, & the sacrifices made by those on the home front. This book is bound to bring back many memories to those who lived in these trying times &, it will serve as testimony to the generations that follow of the sacrifices they made on behalf of freedom.
