Come and listen about a true story of courage and survival about seven men who were Shot Down Over Italy during World War II.
The author, John Lanza, is a Revere native. His Uncle Bill, now 90 years old, still lives in Revere and is one of the men who escaped capture after he was shot down.
John,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this information to us. I'm sure many of us that still live in the area will love to attend.
I was in panic mode when I first saw your email, as it was always to give us sad news. Sooooooo delighted that this email was pleasant and great news!
I was unable to put the brochure on The Lantern as it was in a PDF form. I'll play with it later after the gym and see if there is a way I can get in on here.
Thanks again John!
Best of luck to John Lanza!
Hugs, Rose
I will surely be there. I'm in the middle of reading the book and it is terrific! Very well-written and a great story. Can't wait to hear John at the library.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I was able to make the announcement but I was only able to send the PDF file separately.
ReplyDeleteReally captivating story. John's uncle was such handsome man!
I'm going out to buy the book. I hope others will be joining Meri at the Library on Sept. 14th for the Book Discussion and Signing.
Hugs,Rose
HI Rose,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing story, I am going to find the book.
MY dad was in the war and only in his old age did he talk about being in Europe.
My dad was on anti-air craft in the Army. The gun was named after me. I always wanted to write a book about his experiances in Europe. He saw a lot of action. Talked to German prisoners of war.
He was in the Battle of the Bulge and D-Day. He received medals, but said the guys who died deserved them not the ones who lived.
