SIZE:28.6*34*2.3CM I would first and foremost like to thank all of the men and women who selflesslyserved during WWIl. You are directly responsible for the freedoms that all Americans,andmost of the world enjoy today. Without your contributions none of this would be possible.This project is the culmination of thousands of hours over the course of four years-time. It has changed direction and evolved over that time but the mission was always beenthe same; to preserve the legacies of the men and women who served during the greatestconflict in human history, so their sacrifices may be learned of by future generations,and tonever be forgotten or lost to the sands of time.My grandfather is the inspiration for this project. He was my hero growing up andI failed to take advantage while he was here,to sit down and record his experiences duringWWII. It wasn't until his passing that the fire was lit,and I setout to interview and photographas many WWII Veterans as | could. I have learned so much from all of the interviews l'veconducted,and I have been humbled many times over. Humbled by a generation,who grewup with nothing,through the worst financial crisis in American history,answered the callof duty when their nation was viciously attacked,battled the enemy on land,air,and sea,fighting to victory through the harshest of conditions, up against the grandest of obstaclesand they persevered and overcame without ever asking for anything in return. It was not anindividual effort but the effort of a nation, who stood united as one. Most were just teenagersat the time; some even lying about their age so they wouldn't be left behind as their brothersand sisters went overseas. Over 16, 000, 000 Americans would go on to serve during WWII,over 405, 000 would pay the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that our country remains free fromthe evil dictators that threatened our way of life. 'The Greatest Generation'will soon be goneand the torch will be passed to the next generation to uphold that same responsibility ofprotectino our freedom at all costs.
