My name is Kathleen Belfiore Schuman.

In 1997, I began my lifelong passion to document my family roots,
never dreaming my research would unravel one family's 40-year,
well-kept secret.

I spent eight years investigating this story, which includes personal
interviews, original military documents kept by family members,
interviews with various military personnel, and extensive research
from the National Archives and Records Administration. Combined, my
research eventually led to a remarkable story that I titled, 'One
Mans Courage'.

I'm not a writer by any stretch of the imagination. I have no literary
background or experience to speak of. I simply tell this story. And
through this story, I hope to demonstrate the importance of family
and one's personal history, yet at the same time, educate the public
concerning the variations of impact that war has on each individual
and their family.
