So Brave...So Quiet...So Long!: An Anthology of Heroes

Uplifting in-depth interviews with 34 unforgettable men and women, from one small community in Northern California, who helped save our nation from WWII to the Cold War -- and then went home. First published as a 5-year series in The Wildwood Independent, the stories became "the most talked-about, most popular series in the paper's 30-year history," says TWI publisher Mike Dobbins.  These true stories have all the drama and pathos one would expect of warfare memoirs. More than that...  "It's not easy to do justice to lives that have been lived to their fullest and Larry has managed to take his readers around the world and back to a time when young Americans were asked to grow up far too soon," says Jeff Ackerman, Publisher and Editor, The Union Newspa

" Larry Bailey has written a must-read tribute to thirty-four of our neighbors who without any fanfare continue to quietly live in our midst and contribute to the well-being of Nevada County, California, and our country." --by Major General O. K. Steele, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.)

"Larry Bailey shares the fascinating life journeys of 34 hometown heroes and does so with the skill and sensitivity of a veteran journalist... Their stories should serve as an inspiration to us all." -- by Jeff Ackerman, Publisher and Editor, The Union Newspaper and Publishing Co.,
