(It is Veterans Day Weekend, and as is my personal tradition, I am sharing again my story on “The Boys of Praha.” I wrote this original narrative about twenty years ago for the “American Legion Magazine,” when I came across the history of this little Texas parish.
We've often related to each other via music and songs. This was a lovely story, and Johnny's song is great. Another you might enjoy is Walt Wilkins song "Seven Hillsides" and his story about how he came to write it. Thanks as always, Jim.
Superb story telling...about a truly sad story...thank you for writing the story and sharing it again...
Many thanks, Frank, for taking the time. I hope they are always remembered.
Great read and most appropriate to our commemoration. How many Great Wars must we have before we realize that they aren't?
We have much to be thankful for. The greatest generation that ever lived, and died. Did they know the gift they were giving us?
No truer words, my friend, no truer words.
I have read this moving account several times over the last few years. It sticks with you. Well done.
Thanks, Jon. I hope their story lives forever.
