A book you can not put down!, November 8, 2009
This review is from: Jason's Helmet: The true story of a World War II helmet's journey home from the Normandy battlefield. (Perfect Paperback)
Yesterday, I was riding in the car as Steve drove us to Morgantown to help Jenn with her new house. I was finally settled down enough to pick up the book and start reading it. Except for stopping to do things I had to do, I could not put the book down. I found it to be entertaining, patriotic, amusing, informational and well written!

Touching and Patriotic Journey, January 24, 2012
This review is from: Jason's Helmet: The true story of a World War II helmet's journey home from the Normandy battlefield. (Perfect Paperback)
A fascinating journey of discovery for the family of Jason. A story that digs up the past; that brings historical events to life; a story of closure on a family tragedy. Jason's Helmet is a touching, patriotic story of how strangers were brought together in the quest to reunite a soldier's helmet with the family of its owner. Recommended reading.

Touching and Heart Warming, March 29, 2011
This review is from: Jason's Helmet: The true story of a World War II helmet's journey home from the Normandy battlefield. (Perfect Paperback)
So many people do not know what happened to their loved ones during World War II. There are still officially over 70,000 servicemen classified as "Missing In Action". This is not the case for Linda Baron Heinrich's family. Because of her curiosity and diligence, they found out what happened to Jason H. Baron and his 5 comrades and in the process forged an unbreakable bond with the people of Louge-sur-Maire, France. This is a warm, heart-wrenching story of the gratitude and respect shown to the family of a young American soldier who died in France in the days following the D-Day. The book serves to memorialize the sacrifice of these young American boys and reminds us that a deep sense of everlasting gratitude still exists in the human condition. And this coming together of strangers to celebrate a life lost too soon was precipitated by the unselfish return of Jason's Helmet. Buy it. Read it. Bring tissues! John E.
