Awesome account of the lives of 14 American Hereos February 2, 2003
Gilpatrick documents the lives of 14 WWII heroes from Wisconsin in a very personable manner. She makes the reader realize that we encounter heroes every day. These humble friends and neighbors have made personal sacrifices for the good of everyone in this country. A must read for anyone that is a veteran, or has a veteran in their lives.
A sensitive review of 14 vets who fought World War II May 20, 2000

This book spotlites the experiences of the people who fought World War II in both Theaters of Operation... the guys who ate the dirt... in contrast with Tom Brokaw's fine book "The Greatest Generation" which recounted too many experiences of the brave guys who "commanded" troops. This book provides a "worm's eye" view of that war from guys who fought it. Gilpatrick did a sensitive job of telling the 14 very different perspectives of the war and will provide an insight into "how it was" to those who were not there.
Fascinating Read May 18, 2000

Outstanding effort for a first book. Made me wonder what kindsof heroes might be living next to me. Compelling with the rightamount of compassion. Regular folks caught in irregular circumstances. Their modesty is pretty overwhelming. Another nice feature - you can start anywhere in this book - each of the fourteen stories are self contained. Definitely worth owning...
