IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HEROES
UNFORGETTABLE STORIES FROM THE HEROES OF WWII
“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 MARSHALL

The legacy of World War II endures as a timeless reminder of courage, sacrifice, and the price of freedom. Preserved in museums, oral histories, and cultural works, these stories turn a global conflict into personal journeys of resilience and hope. They remain essential lessons in service, unity, and perseverance. By safeguarding and sharing them, we not only honor the past but also inspire future generations to carry its meaning forward in the pursuit of peace and justice.
