Jack Pulwers ended 2006 with a broad-ranging interview in national television C -Span on Book TV Weekend with best-selling author, Alex Kershaw . As Pulwers hosted Kershaw on the C-Span program, "After Words," he garnered information about the Ameican heroes Kershaw wrote about in his books, "The Bedford Boys," "THe Longest Winter" and "The Few."

In both the D-Day landings and in the Battle of Britain none of the youthful American fighter-volunteers ever came back.
