Nations have warred one with the other for millennia, but never has such a conflict spanned the entire planet as did World War II. Given no choice, the Allies fought a war against the Axis powers for world domination. Many of America's men and women who served in this war of all wars were wounded or killed upon the fields of battle in the air, on land and at sea. In remembrance of these brave men and women who risked everything for the sake of freedom, the Wilson Historical Society proudly presents A Tribute to Wilson's WWII Veterans, featuring those individuals from Wilson, Oklahoma and the immediate vicinity. This fully-indexed 8.5" x ll" commemorative edition will transport readers back in time to experience the joys, patriotic fervor and courage exhibited by what's been often termed, "the greatest generation" and their families. Their story is an American story that occurred in every small town and city across this great nation. It was a time when America stood united against all-comers-and won.
With over 300 pages of local WWII newspaper clippings and biographical data on over 600 individuals, A Tribute to Wilson's WWII Veterans preserves these precious memories for future generations.
