WW II Historic Book Signing Saturday October 4th, 2008

Come to the WW II veterans' historic book signing Saturday October 4th, 2008. Get your copy of the now available book from the WWII Veteran Interviews Despotis Book Project: "Victory Through Valor: A Collection of World War II Memoirs" fresh off the presses.

The book is about World War II as a critical turning point in the history of the mankind. The freedom of the known world was at stake during this period in history and estimates state that 50-60 million people lost their lives as a direct effect of this catastrophic war. This degree of man-made tragedy is unsurpassed in the history of the world. The impact of the war is still being manifested today. The U.S. military involvement was at a cost of 500,000-600,000 lives. These brave souls prevailed in preserving freedom throughout the world.

In the United States alone, it has been estimated World War II veterans are dying at a rate of 1000 per day. The primary goal of this project is the completion of as many interviews as soon as possible to preserve the personal accounts of these aging veterans to help future generations understand their experiences and sacrifices in the process of preserving our freedom and serving during the war.

Since October of 2004, the Despotis WWII Veterans Project (also referred to as the Despotis Book Project), with approval from the St. Louis Gateway Chapter, Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, has been conducting 60-80 minute videotaped interviews of these WW II veterans. It is an attempt to preserve their personal accounts about their participation in World War II. A huge majority of these oral histories involve accounts of the Battle of the Bulge.

They are attempting to increase the visibility of the project to identify other WWII veterans who would be interested in being interviewed. One additional future goal would be to compile the first National Database of soldiers killed during the largest battle in US history, the Battle of the Bulge. The Project has completed interviews of over 100 Gateway Chapter members and their wives in an effort to preserve their oral histories for future generations.

Join the veterans at Royale Orleans for a book signing by some of these courageous men including my Dad, Mr. James Green. Event to be held at 2801 Telegraph Rd., St. Louis, MO 63125 from 1 until 3:30 p.m. The program will include a presentation of the Battle of the Bulge by member of the St. Louis Gateway Chapter, a Q & A session and the book signing.

The book is available in soft cover, 320 pages, was published by Reedy Press of St. Louis and is only $24.99. Here is the order form: http://www.gatewayvbob.org/book_preorder.pdf
