	A thousand letters home : one WWII soldier's story of war, love, and life / [Aarol W. Irish] ; compiled, edited ... by Teresa K. Irish.	Non Fiction , Biography , History , Michigan	Adult , Teen	ATLH Publications	2012

What is the aim or goal of your writing: After the 2006 death of my father, Bud Irish of Saginaw, MI, a recipient of the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars, I found the 1,000 letters he wrote home during WWII. These treasures, along with 104 photographs, are the basis for the book “A Thousand Letters Home.” From lonesome moonlit nights listening to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany, to correspondence with the heartbroken mothers whose sons died by his side, this is a historic story of life & loss, hope & perseverance, unwavering faith & true love. A rich primary source of history, this book resonates with all readers as every family was touched by WWII. This is for the children, grandchildren, and future descendants of all veterans...Lest we forget.
