Giving Fellow Servicemen and Women a Voice
Sergeant First Class William R. Graser, USA (Ret), is no stranger to the military. Recruited in 1965 by the United States Armed Security Agency, Graser served in Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Germany, and West Berlin. Its his time in the service that inspired him to share not only his story, but the story of veterans like him.
It's about preserving history
Graser wanted to ensure veterans' stories were recorded for generations to come; to ensure those who fought for their country were remembered for their sacrifice and their service. Featuring over sixty first-hand accounts from veterans who served from WWII to Afghanistan, Veterans' Reflections shares the heart-wrenching, tragic, and even funny stories these men and women lived.
... and sharing it authentically
Graser's method, which weaves the veterans’ own stories into an historical overview of specific conflicts, gives a clear view of what really happened. The soldiers’ accounts go well beyond the war’s scorecard and reveal some of the actual fears and experiences of the participants.
In Veterans' Reflections: History Preserved, William Graser shares veterans' stories, including his own.
William Graser on publishing to preserve history
"All of us veterans are not going to be here forever, and we finally have something in our hands ... There’s my story and theirs and they can pass it on to their grandchildren or their family. It’s just great."
William Graser
