Brave Men, Gentle Heroes presents the frank, moving, and harrowing stories of men who served in World War II and of their sons who served in Vietnam -- fathers and sons bonded as deeply by their common experience in war as by blood.

These are men who served in the army, navy, air force, and Marine Corps. Officers and enlisted men, career servicemen and citizen soldiers. Men of European, African, Asian, Latino, and Native American ancestry. Men who speak with the authentic voices of an Indiana farmer, a Brooklyn bus driver, a Louisiana businessman, a Seattle machinist. The contrasts between World War II and Vietnam are everywhere in these compelling accounts: the clear aims of World War II, the muddled goals of Vietnam; the heroes' welcome accorded World War II veterans, the scorn heaped upon their sons. But the stories in Brave Men, Gentle Heroes are also rich with elements intrinsic to all wars and all soldiers: courage, honor, service, duty, youth, adventure, fear, idealism, love of country and of family, exasperation with military bureaucracy. In these pages you will find war's carnage and war's heroism, war's purpose and war's futility, war's meaning and war's tragic meaninglessness.

Taken together, the stories in Brave Men, Gentle Heroes tell the history of two wars, each the defining experience of a generation. This is history told not at the level of presidents and generals, but through the recollections of men who shouldered the rifles, manned the ships, and flew the planes. We're familiar with the effects of the two wars on world politics. But what did they do to American families? Molded by the awful crucible of war, these seemingly ordinary men offer extraordinary insights into what it means to be a warrior, an American, a father, and a son.

Brave Men, Gentle Heroes is a book for those who have been to war and those who have been spared its horror. It is a book for individuals to reflect upon and families to share.

reliable mild exfoliating toner for everyday
My favorite toner that helps evenly exfoliates the flakey dead skin. It helps with minimizing acne from clogged skin buildups like dead skin and oils. I find glycolic acid too harsh even when using it once a week so this is perfect and it has no added fragrances. I tend to switch up my skincare regimen based on what good deals there are but I'm on my 5th big bottle of this stuff and it's a good deal for this size. I tried out other skin toners like roundlab dokdo, tiam b5 but my oily skin prefers this more.

My favorite toner + lasts a long time!
I have tried TONS of toners. This one beats all of the other toners by far (even the viral milky toners)! This toner absorbs quickly into the skin. This really calms down any redness or irritation I have. I use it both in my night routine and my morning routine before any of my other skincare. One bottle also goes a LONG way! I am on MONTH 7 of 2x daily use, and I still have at least a months worth left! I apply the toner directly into my hand and pat on my face (some people use cotton pads but I feel like it wastes a little bit of product).
