Pat Conroy’s friend and fellow author Bryan Bender will join him Sat., Nov. 23, 1 to 4 pm, to sign You Are Not Forgotten: The Story of a Lost World War II Pilot and a Twenty-First-Century Soldier’s Mission to Bring Him Home (Doubleday, hb., 336 pp., $27). One of the two protagonists is from Charleston, and the book is an inspiring and epic tale of loss and redemption about two American servicemen: a Marine Corps pilot who was shot down in WWII and the modern-day soldier determined to bring home his remains six decades later.
Bryan Bender got his start in journalism as a writer for Inside the Army and as a military correspondent for publications such as Jane’s Defense Weekly. He is the national security reporter for The Boston Globe, and has traveled the globe covering operations at military outposts and training bases, aboard submarines and warships, and in combat aircraft over hostile territory.
