In this beautiful American family album of stories, reflections, memorabilia and photographs, history comes alive and is preserved, in people’s own words and through photographs and time lines that commemmorate important dates and events. Starting with the Depression and Pearl Harbor, on through the war in Europe and the Pacific, this unusual book preserves a people’s rich historical heritage and the legacy of the heroism of a nation.
