"Lest We Forget: World War Stories" by John G. Thompson and Inez Bigwood is a collection of historical accounts and stories written in the early 20th century. The book aims to educate young readers about the World War, particularly highlighting stories of heroism and sacrifice. It serves as a means to inspire admiration for the courage displayed during the war, while emphasizing the ideals and values that motivated individuals during this tumultuous period. The opening of this volume lays a foundational understanding of the work, discussing the significance of American involvement in various conflicts, including those for independence and freedom. It draws parallels between the revolutionary spirit of the past and the modern context of World War I, presenting a narrative of valor and moral obligation.
