"Average Americans" by Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt III, now with a special Introduction by Hal Moroz. This is the defining book on America's involvement in World War I, by the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. Riveting and prophetic, this book has many lessons for modern-day America. It is a MUST READ for any American interested in the lessons of the past for building a better future "Average Americans" are anything but "Average." They are exceptional They "are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Founding Fathers knew that, and so did the legions of their progeny, among which are included the author of this book and those who stood -- and continue to stand -- watch on the very edge of freedom's domain. This is their story Or should I say, it is our story "Average Americans" is a documentary about fellow-Americans at war, and the Spirit it takes to win the peace. It is, in the final analysis, a lesson for us all, and an understanding that it will take the sacrifice and concerted efforts of "Average Americans," like you and me, to preserve, protect, and defend this "last best hope of man on earth " We can do that "And, after all," as President Reagan said in his first inaugural address, "why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans " Hal Moroz, U.S. Army Retired, from the Introduction
