Jack’s Story – Media & Interview Talking Points

About Jack’s Story

Jack’s Story is a true WWII memoir based on more than 150 hidden wartime letters, official military records, and family interviews.
It tells the story of a young 23-year-old tank commander who took charge when his unit was trapped behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge.
The memoir brings to life the quiet courage, leadership, and faith that defined one soldier’s experience—and honors the legacy of the Greatest Generation.

To preserve a family legacy that might have otherwise been lost.
To give future generations a personal connection to WWII history, beyond textbooks or headlines.
To share the emotional journey of uncovering forgotten letters that told a story no one in the family fully knew.
