American History
You are a World War II veteran who was just recently contacted by a researcher at the National Archives in Philadelphia. This researcher is organizing testimonials from WWII veterans about their experiences during the War. Your children have always wanted you to write a book about your service during World War II so now is the perfect chance!
The researcher would like to read the chapter about your experiences on and off the battlefield. Your chapter should be at least 3-4 pages and must include the following:
· Vivid depiction of your involvement in a major battle in which US was directly involved in one of the following theatres, Europe, Africa, or Pacific- (Please note the following are NOT options for this paper: Pearl Harbor, dropping of atomic bombs, Stalingrad, and other battles where Americans were not present).
o Give an eyewitness account of what occurred
o Describe your part in the battle (MUST be an American in a battle fought by Americans)- You can be either male soldier or female noncombat
o Talk about the other unit members’ involvement in the battle (include your relationship with these soldiers and how experiencing the war affected your life)
o Any other pertinent information that you feel is needed but please check with me.
