What did you do in the war, Granddad? Join Jeff Badger, Ph.D. and WWII Veteran Leo Packer (the captain of Jeff's Granddad's unit) when they discuss Jeff's fascinating new book, Finding Granddad’s War. You'll learn how Jeff tracked down and interviewed men from his deceased grandfather’s WWII unit. The now-elderly veterans not only told about battlefield heroics, but also of drinking runs in the Philippines, brothels in France and bank robberies in Germany (at least two!). Jeff will also talk about the civilians he tracked down in Holland, France and Germany who knew the veterans in 1944/1945. Finally, he will give instructions on tracing your own family member’s war story, medals, and military records on the Internet! Don't miss this informative and touching event!
