About the Book
Always Faithful, Always Free draws on all ten decades of the author's life to paint a vivid portrait of the fast-disappearing Greatest Generation, from the struggles of the Depression and World War II through the creation of an entirely new America. His inspiring journey runs from a "holler" in West Virginia to the shores of Guadalcanal and back, and from the darkness of the coal mines to the brilliance of a lifelong devotion to his beloved Recie. A uniquely American tale of honor, self-reliance and patriotism.
