Not only did WWII have a lasting effect on the soldier, but it affected the community as a whole . . . every community in the United States was affected, but this is about our community in South Texas. As a member of the \"Baby Boomer\" generation of Eagle Pass, I grew up knowing many of the veterans mentioned in this book. I never knew that the Postmaster, teacher, or bar owner, that I knew most of my life, were actually a POW camp survivor, a Navy medic who was forced to amputate the leg of a battle buddy, or a war hero. It is our duty, as the younger generation, to share these stories of a great and honorable generation that will soon be gone. It is our personal mission to ensure they are never forgotten. This is a journey through time-how Maverick County came to be, stories from its residents, and why WWII began . . . This book tells their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619052908851,"sku":"9780986128547","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aXNlWnJzYi9obkdSS0NJUWd1MVVUZz09.webp?v=1761919048","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/warriors-of-the-rio-grande-the-history-of-maverick-county-in-wwii-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
