On this episode of the Big Time Talkers podcast, Burke Allen broadcasts live from the Southern Christmas Show in Charlotte, North Carolina, joined by author and educator Rick A. Shockey. Rick discusses his powerful WWII book series Hardy’s Heroes, which chronicles the 33 fallen soldiers from tiny Hardy County, West Virginia—and reveals how their stories trace the entire arc of the war from North Africa to Okinawa. A Coast Guard veteran himself, Rick shares the inspiration behind the project, the rich history of his hometown of Moorefield, and why these forgotten heroes deserve to be remembered.
