Military Families Continue to Suffer the Consequences of America's Wars.
My guest for hour one of Pamela's Place, Karolyn Rogers has experienced what many are now experiencing for the first time - the shocking agony of losing someone you couldn't ever imagine losing. Karolyn shares tips for achieving a sense of closure, no matter what the nature of the tragedy may be.
When Karolyn Rogers was 5 years old, she became one of the millions of Americans who've lost a parent to war.
Her father, Pfc. Tom T. Wilmeth, died in the waning days of World War II and for most of her life, she felt a haunting absence and the grief of knowing his sacrifice was needless.
Karolyn is the author of the new book, "When Daddy Comes Home," which details her journey of healing through researching her father's family and military experience.
"As she experienced with her father, Karolyn says that families and veterans of recent wars may wonder whether or not the sacrifice was worth it.
Her father, Pfc. Tom T. Wilmeth was killed during Gen. Patton's advance on Berlin in the waning days of World War II. The loss devastated her family and left Rogers with a lingering void, until she began researching her father's life.
She learned her dad earned the Purple Heart and many other decorations, he was a loving and caring husband and father, as evidenced by the many letters he sent from Europe to his family in Oklahoma. With the hope of inspiring others who've suffered loss, Rogers has built a chapel in memory of Pfc. Tom T. Wilmeth and has recently published "When Daddy Comes Home.
Join me for hour one of Pamela's Place this Friday 3/28/14 from 12:00 - 1:00 CST.
