Thanks Richard. Grandparents truly are a blessing. I was fortunate enough to have had all 4 until I was 14 and 3 out of 4 until I was in my early 30s. Many people at 40 years old have unfortunately lost all of their grandparents. I'm lucky.
...and the book is fantastic. It's a great read for anybody who appreciates history. I especially love the books which tell the stories through the eyes of those who lived the events. This book shares each sodier's story, often times in their own words.
