Studio Book Works hasn't added a story.

Though this is a work of fiction, it is historically accurate, only the soldiers who were there can tell the full tale. 

The Combat Engineers Who are these Guys? 

We've heard of the famed exploits of Army Rangers and the Navy Seals, but have you ever heard of the COMBAT ENGINEERS?  These are the guys who went in before the troops to build the bridges and roads, to destroy the enemy's escape routes and lanes, and to take obstructions out of the way for the soldiers who then went in to the battles.  Those elite and tenacious members of the combat engineers battalions had a very dangerous job.  Often they were deployed as squads of eight to twelve specialists who could accomplish a job on their own.   Because of this they had one of the highest mortality rates of any group in World War 2.  No wonder those who survived any battled called themselves "the lucky ones."    Here are your trigger warnings:  

This is story involves those in the Greatest Generation who suffered with PTSD before anyone put that name to it. Whether it was survivor's guilt or unfinished business, unhealed psychological wounds existed for decades.

This is the also the story about a certain percent of the soldier, sailors, marines, and airmen of WW2, and of their combat buddies and friends who tried to protect them. There were men and women serving in this great war who had to hide who they could love, or be labeled deviant then discharged without benefits.  Today they are gay or LGBTQ+, back then, they were called many names, most of them insulting.  These are your trigger warnings.

Why this Crowdfundr?

This crowdfund request is to raise funds for printing the eight issues of THE LUCKY ONES: A WW2 COMBAT ENGINEERS STORY.  Three of these 24-page issues are ready to go to press at this time. And any additional funds raised will be used to pay the creative team who brings this story to you. 

Why YOU are important to this Story?

Supporters of this endeavor are heroes.  Bringing diverse, honest and especially controversial realities to public awareness is the best education you can give.   As each Issue becomes available it will be added to this campaign.  Please check back regularly to see if the next issue is available.  The planned completion date is early 2024, to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
