From lowering the ramps of landing ships at Normandy on June 6, 1944, to crawling on the snow on their bellies and enduring extremely harsh weather at the Battle of the Bulge, our veterans showed great intrepidness and bravery when facing the enemy.

From lowering the ramps of landing ships at Normandy on June 6, 1944, to crawling on the snow on their bellies and enduring extremely harsh weather at the Battle of the Bulge, our veterans showed great intrepidness and bravery when facing the enemy. We may never see a generation of men and women like the ones who served during World War II to ensure the world was a safer place -- free from the tyranny of leaders and nations. Slowly, the number of World War II veterans diminishes with each passing day, month and year. Newspapermen Steve Ranson, Kenneth Beaton and David C. Henley have interviewed scores of World War II veterans and learned more about them and how they helped the war effort. Additional reporters have also written about our World War II heroes -- including Kaleb Roedel's in-depth stories on two Native American veterans. Interviews included POWs, survivors of the Nazi concentration camps and veterans who remember in detail where they were and what they did. On several occasions, veterans flew Honor Flight Nevada trips to Washington, D.C., and most recently to Pearl Harbor in early 2020, and their stories have been documented. It was at that point we felt it was necessary to preserve our past newspaper articles and present them to our current and future generations so they will know of the heroism of the men and women we interviewed. Too many times as authors, we discovered veterans from the World War II era have been very reluctant to tell their stories, but we have also discovered many of them are now more willing to talk about their service to their country. So, too, are the Holocaust survivors because they never want the world to forget the atrocities committed by their Nazi captors.
