In honor of America’s war veterans

Today is Veterans Day in the United States. Gathering around the Flatiron Building and around Madison Square Park, where the Veterans Day Parade begins in NYC are thousands of war veterans, young and old.

We honor and salute their service. In tribute to them here is ALAN'S WAR, by Emmanuel Guibert—one veteran's voice, from the second World War: Alan Cope, whose voice lives on through this work. And following it is a one-minute piece of artistic magic, from the making of this book.
