About the Author: Patrick K. O'Donnell is the author of Beyond Valor: World War II's Ranger and Airborne Veterans Reveal the Heart of Combat, and the creator of The Drop Zone (www.thedropzone.org), the first virtual community for World War II veterans and the interested public dedicated to collecting and sharing the stories of the war. The site has won praise from newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, which said, "The Drop Zone presents the remarkable and often terrifying war stories of U.S. Army Airborne and Ranger troops. Browse through a few of these tales and you will probably gain new respect for the older men in the Veterans Day parade."
