Michael B. Butler was inspired, by guilt and intense curiosity, to attend the 50TH Anniversaries of Pearl Harbor & D-Day to honor a family tree which boasts of 15 Wartime Military Veterans going back to the American Civil War. Conceived after writing his first book, A World Flight Over Russia, this is an extensive history book wrapped around family tales of where and when they all served, which is then punctuated by a last minute excursion to honor all of those Veterans at the 50th Anniversary of D-Day.
History going back centuries is detailed yet wide-ranging while showcasing great historians and scholars whose books and research deserve exploration. Direct testimony from Combat Veterans is deployed to try and explain what is totally unexplainable, for unless one has been there it is impossible to understand.
The historical text is broken up with chapters dedicated to four different outfits which the author’s famly served in during World War II and World War I—Granfather Harvey Butler with the 42nd Rainbow Division in WWI, Great Uncle Paul Chapter with the 35th Infantry Division in WWII, Uncle Roy Larson, B-17 Pilot with 8th Air Force in WWII and Great Uncle Henry Olivas with the 5th Armored Division in WWII.
