Soldiers and Battles Biography   A Son's Journey Uncovering my Father's Life as a Thunderbird by Michael Reyka   ISBN Number: 1-57747148-6 Softcover     6 x 9     280 pages   "Each of us was aware that Dad served in the Army during World War II. However he never spoke of this period in his life, nor did he offer insight into these experiences. For unknown reasons, we never asked about this time in his life." Michael Reyka’s journey is a very personal one, but he takes that journey for all of us. This book is written for the children of Steve Reyka, his grandchildren, his future great grandchildren. But the author’s research methods will be invaluable to all that are seeking to "know" their fathers. Accompanying the author on his quest to discover his father, we find that we are also rewarded with excellent primary accounts from veterans of the 45th Infantry Division. The "Thunderbirds" fought their way across Sicily, Italy, France and Germany and were highly regarded by regular army forces and the enemy for their valiant efforts and fighting abilities.   $20.00 Click photo to Enlarge   Add To Cart BACK
