One comment:

  1. Your presentation was very moving, and you present your message very professionally. Thank you so much for telling “the story” so that we all may remember.

    In speaking about the final Veteran in your presentation, whose name I believe is Bill, you mentioned having assisted with proofing a book he wrote. I do not recall Bill’s last name nor the title of his book. Can you please provide this detail?

    Thanks so much!
