Authors: Faye Berger with Russel Albrecht
Reviews: “When you start reading Finding Foxholes, you will not be able to lay the book down. Faye Berger weaves history, the present, and the future together in a most fascinating way. War is different now. The causes are much the same. Enemies can still become friends by the Grace of God. You will be amazed by Faye Berger’s sensitivity.”
— Al Quie, Former Governor of Minnesota, WWII Veteran, and Grandson of a Civil War Vet
“Like so many in our World War II generation, Russel Albrecht answered the call of duty in 1944 and proudly served our nation overseas. Only in his later years did this humble hero share his remarkable stories with his daughter, Faye Berger. Finding Foxholes is a one-of-a-kind book, born from a father’s recollections and a daughter’s admiration.”
— Senator Bob Dole, WWII Veteran
“This book perpetuates the memory and history of our World War II veterans. I only wish that I could have taken that journey into the past with my father, as he fought his way through the Pacific. They were indeed ‘the greatest generation’ and unquestionably saved our way of life.”
— William (Bill) Thien, Commander in Chief, Veterans of Foreign Wars
“I have had the honor of interviewing scores of World War II combat veterans. To a man, they say they did nothing special, just ‘did their bit.’ Russel Albrecht was one of them. In Finding Foxholes, Faye Berger pays heartfelt tribute to her father, a humble, dedicated and very brave man. He was in the thick of it ‘at the point of the spear.’ He was much older than his fellow grunts and that makes his story all the more compelling. Faye Berger has written an important and memorable story of ordinary men doing extraordinary things.”
— Stan Turner, Radio Show Host and Broadcast Journalist
“The methods involved in this book are four objectives we use to guide the development of Programs for the World War II History Round Table. They are to: (1) draw out and chronicle the wartime experiences of the Veteran; (2) use historical annotations or records to support the Veteran's stories; (3) visit the locations that impacted the Veteran and involve local Nationals where possible; (4) AND Most of all, integrate the Family and Children of the Veteran with the Veteran’s experience. Finding Foxholes achieves this in all aspects.”
—Donald (Don) G. Patton, Colonel (Retired - U.S. Army) WW II History Round Table
