Legacy of Honor: The Patriarch

The Patriarch Sam McCormick is a dedicated doughboy serving with the Rainbow Division of the American Expeditionary Force in France during World War I. To return home he must survive being gassed, horrific artillery bombardments and machine gun fire as he crosses "no man's land" repeatedly to attack the Huns. He'll meet several historic figures and fall in love with Marie a French nurse. They'll marry in Paris, return to America, and start their life together. Returning to a grateful nation, which soon forgets their sacrifices, Sam tries to assimilate back into civilian life. It's a journey full of disappointment, frustration, violence, and pride in what he and the men he served with accomplished during the war and later in life as they fight for justice, recognition, and each other.This historically accurate work of fiction gives the reader a riveting storyline containing a mixture of experiencing the horrors of war in WW I, to following the life of the veterans upon returning home, and intermixed is a sweet love story. It is a fact-based story that must be told about the Doughboys and their struggles in war, love, and civilian life back home in the USA.
