Soldiers' Stories - John Hope - Bog

Spanning multiple American wars, including War World II, the Korean War, the Afghanistan War, and a war not yet fought, this collection taps at the heart of a solider and the people for whom he's fighting. Each story is told from a different perspective and is sure to connect with those who make the ultimate sacrifices for freedom and the families who love them. Hide and Seek When an American Korean War pilot is shot down behind enemy lines, he is lost in a snowy forest and forced to play a macabre game of hide and seek with the Chinese Army in order to survive. The Night Aliens Arrive While playing tag with my pals, I witness aliens crashing to earth, but no one believes me. Later, when they show up in our barn--injured and desperate, I need to follow Papa's orders and come to their aid before Grandpa kills them for being Nazis. The Divide A hidden gate leads twelve-year-old Conner down a domino path of worsening circumstances and places him at the center of a possible war. The Leg Newly crippled, I didn't want to scare my six-year-old. He hasn't seen me since I deployed to Afghanistan. But when we meet at the airport, he has a surprise for me.
