{"product_id":"9780986128547","title":"Warriors Of The Rio Grande; The History of Maverick County in WWII","description":"During our research for this book, we discovered that many veterans never talked about their experiences in the war when they were younger. Not only did WWII\u003cbr\u003ehave a lasting effect on the soldier, but it affected the community as a whole\u003cbr\u003e. . . every community in the United States was affected, but this is about our community in South Texas.\u003cbr\u003eAs a member of the \"Baby Boomer\" generation of Eagle Pass, I grew up knowing many of the veterans mentioned in this book. I never knew that the Postmaster,\u003cbr\u003eteacher, or bar owner, that I knew most of my life, were actually a POW camp survivor, a Navy medic who was forced to amputate the leg of a battle buddy, or a war hero.\u003cbr\u003eIt is our duty, as the younger generation, to share these stories of a great and honorable generation that will soon be gone. It is our personal mission to ensure they are never forgotten.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a journey through time-how Maverick County came to be, stories from its residents, and why WWII began . . .\u003cbr\u003eThis book tells their stories.","brand":"HHPublishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010180038896,"sku":"9780986128547","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986128547_p0.jpg?v=1763896340","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986128547","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
