In the the Season One Finale of Soldiers' Heart, you'll hear from a civilian with a message of gratitude for WWII GIs: Lesley Saner was a little girl in Manchester during the German Blitzkrieg. In this interview she vividly recounts midnight air raids, rationing, and the arrival of the American troops with their soccer balls and candy. This is her love letter to American service men and women everywhere around the world.
Soldiers' Heart is written and produced by me, Cyndi Briggs,
and features veterans stories from North Carolina. We honor vets by
listening to their stories. You can follow along on Twitter,
Instagram and Facebook at Soldiers’ Heart NC.

Special thanks to the MUSE of Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
