Synopsis

A novel that deals with generational gaps and elder abuse when a group of misguided teenagers incrementally vandalizes a VFW Hall and disrupts some old WWII Vets from their card game.

Five World War II veterans saw horrible atrocities, witnessed destruction on a mass scale, felt the waste of human life. Now they pass the days of their old age playing poker at their favorite VFW Hall. But, as they ante-up for the next game with gold teeth taken from slain Nazis, they are disturbed by teenagers vandalizing the hall.

The veterans understand tomfoolery from their own youths, but never-never!-would they disrespect soldiers who had protected the United States. Much less soldiers who had lived through the hell of a world war and were now resting their weary bones. These five heroes aren't about to tolerate any disrespect. The boys have no idea who they are challenging. And now there is war of a different caliber.

Douglas K Pearson, a West Michigan storyteller, sails Learnt's Wake with his family. Douglas took to the boat after completing "Veterans' Day," a tale of war that takes place when teenagers who don't know any better pick a fight with five World War II veterans who do.
