Abstract
War is a unique phenomenon for each person concerned; two soldiers in the same battle could face entirely different conflicts. In order to better understand the many facets of war and military life, we must investigate as many different accounts as possible. As Ralph Waldo Emerson states, “All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.” Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are no exception. Some Latter-day Saint servicemen experience quite singular events during wartime; countless others quietly do their duty without fanfare. Each person’s story is different, and each is important.
