This book chronicles the many faces of the WWII effort with contemporary black-and-white portraits of the longest surviving veterans. The book includes a collection of Americans from all walks of life. This collection is a testament to diversity and the spirit of patriotism of a collective American effort. The veterans include: a Supreme Court Justice, a Navajo Code Talker, a Tuskegee Red Tail Pilot, a Japanese American Medal of Honor Recipient, a US Senator, German national escapee from Buchenwald, Nuremberg Trials Chief Prosecutor, five women and my local plumber.
