The Other Veterans of World War II: Stories Behind the Front Line | Webinar

Rona Simmons interviewed 19 veterans who served in roles behind the lines. One could argue that building cemeteries and burying those who paid the ultimate sacrifice was just as essential as steering ships or flying planes, but these non-combat roles are seldom mentioned. Simmons brings some of those stories to light in her book, "The Other Veterans of World War II: Stories From Behind the Front Lines." Also hear from the son of one of the heroes featured in Simmons' book as well as an archivist from the National Museum of the Pacific War.
