A Soldier's Anthology

A vivid collection of veteran narratives from Kentucky and beyond—Normandy medics, Guadalcanal Marines, POW marchers, and homefront heroes—captured exactly as they lived them.

Overview

A Soldier's Anthology extends the promise of sharing "heroes amongst us." Each chapter was recorded in the veteran's own cadence, drawing you into Normandy hospital wards, presidential motorcades, Guadalcanal foxholes, and the eighteen-day march from Stalag XVII-B to freedom. Their sacrifices, humor, and determination reveal the living history families rarely hear in full.

The anthology also highlights how ordinary duty becomes extraordinary legacy—reminding readers why remembrance, mentorship, and community service remain vital pillars at Camp Nelson.
