Robert Freeman is the cofounder of the Saints at War Project, which began in the year 2000 at Brigham Young University. Along with friend and colleague Dennis Wright, Freeman began the project in order to investigate the experiences of Latter-day Saints in wartime. In partnership with the L.

In addition to German Saints at War, other volumes in the Saints at War series have included Saints at War: World War II; Saints at War: Korea and Vietnam; Nineteenth Century Saints at War, and Saints at War: I ll be Home for Christmas. In addition, two companion documentaries have been released and others are planned. Robert welcomes accounts from those who want to share wartime experiences from any war, including current conflicts. Jon R. Felt was born and raised in Seattle, Washington.
