An oft repeated story of WWII is the selfless courage of the men on the frontlines. An amazing example of that is Edward Handziak, son of immigrant parents, wounded twice in the battle for Europe. His story of sacrifice and love for country only sweetens as we learn of his meeting, and eventually marrying a Navy Wave, also serving the WWII effort. Both are loves that lasted a lifetime.
