Summary |
The Boot Hill Coffee Club, which is made up primarily of military veterans, meets daily in Dodge City, Kansas. They are only a few of the thousands of unsung heroes who gather in the coffee shops of America every morning. The term "Boot Hill Coffee Club," as used here, is symbolic of the many coffee clubs where veterans of all wars gather every day. These stories, gleaned from the hearts and minds of aging veterans everywhere, are a treasure of fading but bitter memories of the horrible days when the youth of America were plunged into a quagmire of war and death. |
