“…More than 16 million Americans fought in World War II. When those brave veterans of the ‘Greatest Generation’ returned home, many of them refused to talk about it. Now, in a race against time, one veteran’s son took on the mission of making sure their stories are told.

“Amazon has more than 50,000 titles for sale on World War II but “My Father’s War” by Charlie Valera is the one you absolutely should have on your bedside table. It’s a must-read for anyone who cares deeply about the meaning and the sacrifice of those who fought in America’s most costly, vital and historic conflict. Valera has lovingly chronicled the personal stories of courage and loss of some of those ordinary Americans who took up arms to help save the nation and the world. It’s a profoundly moving book and an important reminder that the character and valor of our fellow citizens are the last bulwark of freedom.”

“the book was meaningful even before I had read it, but now that I have, it is even more so.”

“None of this could have been successful but for your commitment to the task and your own gift of transferring the individual interviews into beautifully readable text. Woven together, albeit individually described, they were totally engaging as a linked story, from beginning to end. I send you my gratitude for sharing your experience with this reader in a way that will not be forgotten.
Thank you and my best to you for your tribute to your father and to our country.”

“…We’ll never fully comprehend what it was like for our father’s generation during World War II. Why didn’t we ask, maybe we were afraid to, or just didn’t know how, and now it’s too late. Here are their stories. Some of your family members are in these ordinary soldiers, in their graphic difficult memories for us all to understand. “My Father’s War: Memories From Our Honored WWII Soldiers” has over 130 private photos and hundreds of stories.
A combination of The Greatest Generation and Saving Private Ryan…”

“Charley, I want to thank you for this book. My grandfather is Fernand Frechette and he is also my heart and soul. He cried the whole time he read his story, as did I. I have heard a lot of his stories and the sadness and fear in his eyes are forever imbedded in my memory. These heroes all deserve to have their stories told and I thank you for making it happen. What an amazing book, job well done!”

“…I hate missed opportunities – I missed my opportunity with my Uncles and neighbor. Unfortunately they didn’t bring it up so I (we) didn’t ask. Fortunately, your manuscript captured the experiences of your airmen, soldiers, and sailors — their selfless, courageous, and patriotic service to America when it was needed most. Now … at least … their stories help me realize more-so, that my uncles and neighbor were some really great men and I’m proud of them too. ”

Like many Americans, I grew up with books and John Wayne movies about WWII, but heard few stories from my father, father-in-law or relatives who actually lived it. They didn’t talk about it and it is now too late for me to ask. Charley Valera captured a vanishing opportunity by interviewing and chronicling the memories and impressions of local citizen-soldiers and their families. Through their eyes Charley provides wonderful insights into the war and how it impacted lives during this eventful period in our history.

Unlike conflicts since, WWII was an entire nation at war, not just the deployed soldiers overseas and their immediate families. Heavily censored newsreels at the movies informed the public while families went weeks with only occasional letters (also heavily censored). The fears, victories and boredoms are humbly recounted – often with humor. The “war stories” are fascinating, but equally so are the transitions from life before the war into wartime and the reintegration into local life afterwards. Through these men and women, and millions of others, the world was forever changed.

A big thank you to Charley for writing this book and to these men and their families who made possible my favorite T-Shirt quote: “Back-to-Back World War Champions”.

I read the entire book and enjoyed the telling of their stories on a personal basis. It made it more interesting knowing some of these families and familiar names in our area. These men usually did not want to talk of war but Charlie got them to reveal their experiences graphically. I have read dozens of books on the Great War and to hear from our local guys was really touching. For most of them, the war was the most important and formative experiences of their lives. Their memories, although driven back, could never be removed. Nice to hear about after war experiences.

Charley. Read the entire manuscript. Found it fascinating and profoundly moving what these guys endured. Young boys taking on important responsibilities and seeing there buddies killed in action and witnessing so much destruction. Part of history forgotten by most
