Women are all too easily forgotten when it comes to war. In this unique volume, Cindy Weigand tells the individual stories of female WWII veterans now living in Texas. These courageious women reveal their war experiences detailing physical exams, troop train rides, and coping with the reactions of their families. They describe the trials of seeing fiances one day and losing them the next, healing the emotional and mental as well as the physical wounds, and enduring extreme conditions in service to their country.

Excellent source of 'living' history,

This review is from: Texas Women in World War II (Paperback)
Many of members of the greatest generation are around us and a unique historian like Ms. Weigand brings their story to future generations. Hopefully, Texas Republic will keep 'TEXAS WOMEN IN WORLD WAR II' available for many years to come. Like Stephen Ambrose's "Band Of Borthers" it is a treasured reference that should not be over-looked.
