Download You are Not Forgotten: The Story of a Lost World War II Pilot and a Twenty-First-Century Soldier's Mission to Bring Him Home AudioBook Free
Major George Eyster V originates from a family of military officers dating back again to the Revolutionary War. His travel of duty in Iraq, however, left him disillusioned and questioning. Then he accepted a posting to J-PAC, an elite division whose quest is to fulfill the most solemn offer of the military services code: bring all fallen military home to the united states that they provided their lives. In 1944 Captain Ryan McCown, a dashing young Marine aviator designated to the USS Nassau, was taken down over the jungles of Papua, New Guinea. McCown's diaries and characters home give a powerful family portrait of the fears and sacrifices of a very different battle - and the pathos of the ultimate cost of duty. Eyster's quest with J-PAC eventually got him and his team deep in to the sweltering interior of New Guinea to finally deliver this fallen veteran to his family members - while perhaps also recovering something lost in himself.
