To the Forgotten

To The Forgotten Military history is written by the victors. Generals and politicians who stamp their names on the pages of books written by men and women in ivory towers. It is actually made by the common: legionnaire, dog face, doughboy, airman, seaman and marine. Most names unknown to those that write the histories. But every name a known part of a life story to a mother, father, spouse or child who’ve watched their loved ones go off to help someone else make history.
