EYEWITNESS TO WORLD WAR II

UNFORGETTABLE STORIES FROM WORLD WAR II GREATEST GENERATION

We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other.
~ General George Marshall

World War II's legacy continues to be preserved through various efforts, including war museums, oral histories, educational programs, and cultural representations. These efforts aim to humanize the conflict by sharing personal accounts of soldiers and civilians. The dwindling number of living veterans underscores the importance of documenting their narratives. Integrating World War II history into educational curricula ensures younger generations understand the war's significance and lessons.
