Marvel as you read about an ordinary American soldier who survived as an American Prisoner of War during World War II and fought in Korea and Vietnam. He married and raised a family while protecting the American way of life. The book, Unsung Hero, developed from a family history to a tribute for a member who, like other unsung heroes, portrayed resilience, respect, and love for God, his country, and his family without any desire for an award. His story, couched in the backdrop of American and world history, invokes the spirit of patriotism, duty, and honors all unsung heroes and first responder's display. The story celebrates an ordinary man who, like other ordinary men, serves their country and family, preserving our freedoms as Americans. "Good book, short chapters." Goodreads. "Unsung Hero by Margaret Best is memoir writing at its best. Her focus on the subject of this book, her father, Albert Vincent Greene, is constant. And yet, she manages to complement his story with an ongoing history lesson." Don Lubov "I read this strictly for pleasure and to learn what it was like being a prisoner of war. This is a quick-read book, but it has so much of life packed into it." William Pricher "Reading Unsung Hero brought back a thousand memories of my childhood and more importantly, my recognizing that there are, in fact, two UNSUNG HEROES in heaven. I can't thank you enough for this book." Bruce Myers, retired military officer, past military brat.

The African-American contribution to winning World War II has never been celebrated as profoundly as in Fighting for America. In this inspirational and uniquely personal tribute, the essential part played by black servicemen and -women in that cataclysmic conflict is brought home. Here are letters, photographs, oral histories, and rare documents, collected by historian Christopher Moore, the son of two black WWII veterans. Weaving his family history with that of his people and nation, Moore has created an unforgettable tapestry of sacrifice, fortitude, and courage. From the 1,800 black soldiers who landed at Normandy Beach on D-Day, and the legendary Tuskegee Airmen who won ninety-five Distinguished Flying Crosses, to the 761st Tank Battalion who, under General Patton, helped liberate Nazi death camps, the invaluable effort of black Americans to defend democracy is captured in word and image. Readers will be introduced to many unheralded heroes who helped America win the war, including Dorie Miller, the messman who manned a machine gun and downed four Japanese planes; Robert Brooks, the first American to die in armored battle; Lt. Jackie Robinson, the future baseball legend who faced court-martial for refusing to sit in the back of a military bus; an until now forgotten African-American philosopher who helped save many lives at a Japanese POW camp; even the author’s own parents: his mother, Kay, a WAC when she met his father, Bill, who was part of the celebrated Red Ball Express. Yet Fighting for America is more than a testimonial; it is also a troubling story of profound contradictions, of a country still in the throes of segregation, of a domestic battleground where arrests and riots occurred simultaneously with foreign service–and of how the war helped spotlight this disparity and galvanize the need for civil rights. Featuring a unique perspective on black soldiers, Fighting for America will move any reader: all who, like the author, owe their lives to those who served.

Band of Giants brings to life the founders who fought for our independence in the Revolutionary War. Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin are known to all; men like Morgan, Greene, and Wayne are less familiar. Yet the dreams of the politicians and theorists only became real because fighting men were willing to take on the grim, risky, brutal work of war. We know Fort Knox, but what about Henry Knox, the burly Boston bookseller who took over the American artillery at the age of 25? Eighteen counties in the United States commemorate Richard Montgomery, but do we know that this revered martyr launched a full-scale invasion of Canada? The soldiers of the American Revolution were a diverse lot: merchants and mechanics, farmers and fishermen, paragons and drunkards. Most were ardent amateurs. Even George Washington, assigned to take over the army around Boston in 1775, consulted books on military tactics. Here, Jack Kelly vividly captures the fraught condition of the war—the bitterly divided populace, the lack of supplies, the repeated setbacks on the battlefield, and the appalling physical hardships. That these inexperienced warriors could take on and defeat the superpower of the day was one of the remarkable feats in world history.
