David Grogan asked David E. Grogan:

What inspired you to write Learning to Live from Those Willing to Die?

David E. Grogan Veterans have been my heroes since I was a boy growing up just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. In fact, my dad was an Air Force pilot and my uncle a Navy sailor. Given that, interviewing veterans and publishing their stories through my Voices to Veterans blog seemed like a natural outgrowth from my fiction writing. Although that was a good first step, I wanted to make sure the stories are permanently preserved and presented in a way that will be meaningful to people. That’s when I came up with the idea for Learning to Live from Those Willing to Die.
