NEVER FORGET!!

Revisado: 05-11-18

My entire life (in my 50s now) I have been enthralled with WWII. As a innocent child watching all the exciting WWII movies, the heroes and action. Then as I grew older and more mature realizing the sacrifice, the hardships, the horror and the waste of war in general. Never have I heard a better history of this epic event told, from the beginning of D-Day to the end of the war, as I have with this book. I can't emphasize enough how great I thought this book is. This book shared from the stories from the GIs themselves left such an impression on me, that I can't stop thinking about it. It brought out such a range of emotions to me. Pride (for having the privilege to have been raised in the same country that these brave men and women fought for), a deep sadness (for all the losses that were incurred. The lives that were loss, the potential that was loss, and just hearing the horrors that humans can do to each other. Shear amazement the hardships that these men and women endured. The will to survive, and some of the unbelievable acts of selflessness and heroism. I will try to NEVER complain again. I truly believe this book (this story) should be a mandatory read in High School. This is the kind of book (story) that must NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, and should be passed down from generation to generation. We owe it to every man, women and child that went through this horrific chapter of mankind, that it is never forgotten as so we never repeat it.
George Wilson did a great job narrating this epic story. I absolutely had a hard time stopping this story, and looking forward to starting it up every time I got in my car.
A MUST READ. And finally a sincere heartfelt THANK YOU to every Veteran in this great country.

I am not a very creative writer, so I know I cannot capture how I truly feel about this book. I had a hard time stopping it. I hung on every word of this story. The heroism, dedication, selflessness, patriotism, and general bad ass-ness is over the top. This story, and so many like it, from all of our brave men and women throughout our military branches, inspire me so. After listening to a story like this, and then find myself complaining about traffic or some BS, it has made me stop in my tracks and tell myself to "shut the hell up". It has, and always will inspire me to be a better citizen of this great country. Everybody should hear this story. From the bottom of my heart I thank each and everyone of you involved in this book, as well as each and every serviceman/servicewomen serving our country.

If you could sum up Legend in three words, what would they be?

Inspiring. Proud. Humbling.

What did you like best about this story?

Fred Sanders was a great reader. But the best part of the story is Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez. What a warrior, patriot, selfless human being. This story made me pause and think so many times. Tears in my eyes for all the sacrifices so many made during the war, and my heart breaks to think that they were spat upon and vulgarities yelled when they returned from Vietnam. I am pleased to see how the times have changed in regards on how we greet and honor our military veterans today. I think society and present generations realize now that politics, and our veterans who serve, are two different entities. You don't have to agree with the politics, but (in my humble opinion) you ALWAYS honor and support your military veterans. And I honestly believe the support our present day veterans experience is because as a nation we learned that the way the Vietnam veterans were treated was flat out WRONG. Thank you Master Sargeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez, your family and ALL who serve this country.

Which scene was your favorite?
