May God Bless You All

May God Bless You All is a creative non-fiction collection of letters from two sets of brothers to their sister during their service in World War 2. This is the story of common men living by God, prayer and family. Their letters share laughter, hardship and perseverance during one of the most tested times of their young lives.This story touches on issues of citizenship, farming and service. It is a story about all of us.Every person living in the United States of America shouldered additional responsibilities during the Second World War. Viola, whether she realized it or not, assumed the role of writing letters to her two brothers, two brother-in-laws and approximately a half dozen other servicemen from the small rural area of Greene, Ohio. Her tireless correspondence provided hope and morale for these men as well as for her young family and neighbors. Throughout the letters, all four men come to grips with each card dealt them keeping God, prayer and family in the forefront of their correspondence and actions. Although they each had their trials, they persisted in remaining selfless discussing the well-being of their family members and each other ahead of themselves. In addition, there are passages from the Bible found throughout the story that reveal our family's life and faith in God and though we are all sinners and harden our hearts until life is at its most difficult and we feel most vulnerable, these passages remind me, personally of God's infinite mercy and love for us.
