Saluting Our Grandmas

 “In this fascinating book, you will learn about a part of our country’s history that has not been thoroughly documented. I guarantee you will be proud of what these ‘grandmas’ did to serve America in a time of great need. In so doing, they carved a path that other women for many generations have since benefitted from. I include myself in that very grateful group of women who today stand on the shoulders of these awe-inspiring pioneers.”

—Gen. Janet C. Wolfenbarger, USAF (ret), first female four-star general in the Air Force,
chairperson of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services

“A wonderful and heartwarming account that highlights the often untold stories of our female World War II veterans. This book ensures that their important legacy of service will be shared with future generations.”

—Sen. Bob Dole
