Come hear the story of William A. Morris, Jr., the author’s father, and his service in an all-Black Regiment during WWII. At the core of this soldier’s story, there is a miracle in its unique heroine, a dog named Trixie. He saved her life and she saved his from Omaha Beach to the Battle of the Bulge.
