1940s
Denton Crocker, LA'42, of Saratoga Springs, New York, writes, "At the invitation of the Veterans History Project (VHP) of the Library of Congress (LOC), my wife and I spoke and signed books on September 24 at the LOC pavilion at the 2005 National Book Festival on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C. Each of us had given the VHP a copy of a memoir. Mine recounts my service in a malaria-survey detachment in World War II; hers is a biography of our older son, who was killed in Vietnam. The LOC, in conjunction with the National Geographic Society, has published two books that include our stories: Voices of War contains excerpts from mine; Forever a Soldier has a chapter devoted to my wife's book. The VHP has placed our memoirs online. Mine is available at http://www.loc.gov/vets, and my wife's can be found at http://www.loc.gov/vets/stories/foreverasoldier."
