Europe's Summer of '45 - Victory Doesn't Send You Home

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, join local author and veteran Lt. Colonel Ralph Little, Jr. USA (Ret.) in highlighting his father, Major Ralph Little's movements and experiences in that fateful spring of 1945, as discussed in his book, Three Cold Wars.  Below is a summary provided by the author:

"Found in his worn leather briefcase, Major Little’s orders outlined an Infantryman’s Army career through World War II, Korea, and the Cold War. Fleshed out with archives, personal stories, and secondary sources, it is a Military History of unappreciated battles. A battle in Italy resulting in 45 Silver Stars has been completely ignored because it was a feint. Another in Korea was hurried because it was inconvenient. It is a story of resilience through separations, wounds, and Army or political realities that affect the career of a Citizen-Soldier. This was written for family, those contemplating a military career and students of war. Three wars, three occupations, three Purple Hearts and one fine wife."
