The Boothill Coffee Club Volume I: Wartime Memories of World War I and World War II (The Boothill Coffee Club, 1)

Every morning the coffee shops in the towns and cities of America come alive. Aging men and women shuffle in and sit down to visit with their friends. They discuss politics, sports, health, and their families. The subjects of war, sacrifice or heroism seldom come up. If so it's usually a brief reference to along-ago military experience. A passer-by would be amazed to discover that he was in the presence of heroes... men and women who fought the wars that now guarantee his right to drop into a coffee shop or do anything else he wishes. The Boot Hill Coffee Club, mostly military veterans, meets daily in Dodge City, Kansas. They are only a few of the thousands of unsung heroes who gather daily in coffee shops all over America. The term "Boot Hill Coffee Club," as used here, is symbolic of all coffee clubs where veterans gather every day. You may belong to a "Boot Hill Coffee Club" in your town. If you do, this book is dedicated to you. These are their stories.
