The Muted Trumpet's Call

The stories in The Muted Trumpet's Call are in remembrance of the United State's entry into World War II seventy years ago. Veterans remember Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the sinking of the USS Pope. These stories tell of the inhumanity and fear in POW camps of the Japanese and Germans, of the up close and personal combat of the soldiers and marines in Europe and the Pacific, of the tension of the sailors on landing craft, and the airmen facing fighters of the enemy and the flak that might take their plane down at any time. They also tell of the wounds that veterans carried home for the rest of their lives, both physical and mental. We also see what WAVES and WACS contributed to the war effort. The stories also include small town newspapers covering the war, the War Memorials in small towns and counties. We go on an Honor Flight to Washington with WWII veterans to visit their memorial and relive the Memorial Days of our lives with veteran's organizations ceremonies at local cemeteries. God Bless them all and God Save the Republic.
