Boonton USA WWII STORIES is a compilation of articles and short stories written by and about the servicemen and women from Boonton NJ and surrounding areas. Most of these articles were printed in a local newspaper, Boonton's Times-Bulletin, during the years 1944 and 1945. Read an account of Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Brig. General Frederick Castle who attended Boonton High School. Read a soldier's description of how it sounded on D-Day. Read several eye-witness accounts of soldiers liberating concentration camps. On how excited Matthew Bednar felt when he was on the USS Nevada and they were told Japan had surrendered. Or how Trevor Lewis-Jones felt when his ship, the USS LaGrange, was hit by kamikaze aircraft on August 13, 1945, after the War had ended and negotiations with Japan were underway. These are our neighbors' children who valiantly fought in WWII and of whom we should be incredibly proud. And so - to honor the sacrifice, courage and heroism of these young men and women - we have compiled this book.
