My Father’s War: The History, The Stories, and the Music of World War II
August 12th – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
“My Father’s War” brings together the historical narrative, individual stories of heroism and sacrifice, and the music of the times to gives attendees a better sense of the magnitude and importance of World War II in shaping our world and perserving the freedoms we enjoy. The son of a World War II combat veteran, Ron Eckberg, brings his father’s stories of combat as well as the stories of the many veterans he has interviewed through the years to create both a refresher course for those familiar with World War II and an introduction to the uninitiated.
