  • Summary

  • Historian Stephen Ambrose appropriately described World War II as “history’s greatest catastrophe”. But from the smoldering rubble of that war there emerged amazing stories of ordinary men and women doing extraordinary deeds of valor, sacrifice, and heroism in the midst of extraordinary times. Today, over 80 years later, there are still such stories being unearthed, stories that need to be told. Such is the purpose of Ron Eckberg’s Ordinary Heroes Project podcast. You will hear stories that you will most likely not have heard before, stories that will inspire, educate, and hopefully challenge you to help in this effort to keep alive the memory of what the Greatest Generation did to keep the world from succumbing to the madness of those who would seek to rule it. Ron Eckberg is the “proud son of a World War II combat veteran”. Join him as he brings new stories of man’s greatest conflict in the Ordinary Heroes Project Podcast.

  • The Story of Hershel G. Horton

    The Story of Hershel G. Horton
    Sep 10 2024

    It is too easy to reduce the cost of war to dollars and statistics. War--as necessary as it may be--is not fought by statistics but by real life flesh and blood human beings that bleed, suffer, and die. Such is the case of the story of Hershel G. Horton. His story is one of suffering, loneliness, hope and despair. Through his own words we get a taste of the horror--the real story--of war.
