Footsteps of David: Common Roots, Uncommon Valor
To read a public school's history book, you might never know that Jews have been citizens, much less soldiers, of our country, from the inception of the Republic. While token mention is made of a Haym Solomon, or a Dr. Salk, scant attention has been paid to the important role of Jewish-Americans in the history of the United States.
Footsteps of David acquaints you with dozens of stories of Jewish-American heroes, their role, service, and sacrifice in the military. Some of the participants are well known, most are obscure, unnoticed, and unpublicized. Other than their own circle of friends and family, few know of their heroic and unselfish service. While many ethnic/religious groups have all made their contribution to the success and defense of our country, the Jewish role has been ignored. Footsteps of David corrects that oversight.
In Footsteps of David, you'll read of dozens of Jewish GIs and heroes, participants in all of our conflicts and wars. They come to life. You will learn of their service, valor, honor, and sacrifice: the same as those of all our countrymen in defense of our country. They faced the same hardships, deprivations, and successes. But, at times, they had to do so in the face of antipathy and contempt, which made their task doubly difficult. That they emerged from the forge of enemy and friendly fire is further evidence of the difficult path that many trod. Thus, the undecorated as well as the decorated are true heroes of our nation.
Cervantes said that his honor is dearer to him than his life. The pages of Footsteps of David exemplify the words of the great Spanish writer.
