What to expect

As the writer and author of a true WWII story that centers on the lives of young Mexican Americans that were segregated and were part of this country's Greatest Generation. Dave shares his journey of discovery and historical value in not only writing their story but also connecting with over 50 different families of the men that served in the unit. The audience will be taken back in time through visual pictures as they see the young faces of heroic men that served our country when our country needed them the most. The audience will follow these courageous men from the barrios of Texas to some of the most horrific battles of WWII. It is truly a part of WWII history that most of America is unfamiliar with.
