Yesterday marked the 93rd Veterans Day since the holiday’s enactment in 1919. And, depending on where you work or go to school, observations for the important day are still underway at this moment. This year, to celebrate our veterans, our thoughts immediately sprang to the newly released In the Shadow of the Greatest Generation—a book that chronicles the lives of Korean War soldiers, and, in doing so, voices a greater truth about the pain, bravery, and selflessness of the men and women who have served our country. Here the author, Melinda L. Pash, takes us back to the beginnings of her book (it all started at a high school prom…) and shows us the unwavering support the older generation of soldiers have for today’s troops.
