Genealogy played a big role in writing the book.  It was Genealogy research that led the author to the story. The author also used Genealogy research to connect with over sixty different families of the men that served in the WWII unit.  Dave is currently serving as the President of the Nuevo Mundo Historical and Genealogical Society of Silicon Valley.
