Every Man a Hero: A Memoir of D-Day, the First Wave at Omaha Beach, and a World at War by Ray Lambert, Jim DeFelice

5.0

I wish it were possible to give a book six stars. This book is everything I love about the “Greatest Generation.” The book flows chronically over the defining events of Ray Lambert’s life, from childhood to his time as one of the few surviving D-Day veterans. It’s an easy read, beautifully written, with profound insights into the wisdom and values the heroes of this era want us to carry forward now and when they are no longer able to do so themselves. A huge thank you to Ray Lambert for sharing his story and to Jim DeFelice for his efforts to record every detail.
