Watching: Sledgehammer: My Father the WWII Hero

Overview

Hosted by Joey Jones. 'Sledgehammer: My Father The WWII Hero' tells the story of Eugene Sledge, a WWII veteran who served in the Pacific. After the war, Sledge wrote 'With the Old Breed,' a highly respected memoir. Now, Sledge's youngest son, Henry, is sharing unpublished material from his father's original manuscript along with his own memories of growing up with a WWII legend. Henry's hope is to keep the legacy of his father and all of our WWII heroes alive for generations to come.
