- Summary
- "From the sailors on the USS Ward who fired the first shots at Pearl Harbor to a Japanese-American army medic who served in a devastated Hiroshima, Stephen Chicoine chronicles the untold personal experiences of almost one hundred World War II heroes, from all divisions of the armed services and in every theater. Incorporating information from military records, the National Archives, family members, and firsthand accounts, Chicoine also tells the peacetime stories of veterans who survived the war. Complete with archival and personal photographs of courageous Americans during this remarkable time, Our Hallowed Ground honors those who served a grateful nation in its darkest hour."--BOOK JACKET.
