- FROM THE FOREWORD BY SENATOR BOB DOLE -
"Jack Sacco has paid his father and all those who have ever served this country the ultimate tribute. Where the Birds Never Sing is an honest, moving portrait of his father, an American soldier in World War II, who fought for everything that makes our nation great.
"Thanks to men like Jack Sacco, Americans will never lack for stories of heroes. And thanks to men like his father, we'll never forget how heroes are made."
