BEDFORD AMERICA “….reminds us of a time when ordinary men from small town America met the challenge of a lifetime with uncommon courage Tom Pettit tells their story with feeling and reverence.” —David Armstrong, PhD (Brigadier General USA, Ret)

BATTLE OF TARAWA “……I’ve read TARAWA – powerful!” —General Joe Hoar USMC (Ret)

THE TRILOGY – the three works taken together “Tom Pettit first produced the poetic narratives offered in HARM’S WAY as dramatic stage presentations replete with period music and visual imagery. The versions here are finely honed after years of communicating with live audiences in various venues. Pettit is a talented writer with a passion for his subject. His own love of country led him to select moments in the American story worthy of special commemoration. These battles contribute to the living memory of a military tradition that inspires many young Americans to put themselves in Harm’s Way.” —Ward McAfee, Professor of History, Emeritus, California State University, San Bernardino
