The Hey, folks, welcome to theles of the First World War podcast.

Joining us on the podcast this afternoon is Richard Sherman, author of Never Home,

Remembering the Military Heroes Who Never Returned.

From the book's website, neverhomeheroes.com, we can learn about Richard's background. In 2017, professional photographer and

Navy veteran Richard Sherman embarked on a journey to visit and photograph all 23 American

overseas World War I and World War II cemeteries. After six years and eight trips to three continents, he published

Never Home, remembering the military heroes who never returned. The book features dramatic imagery

of all 23 cemeteries, from Normandy to Manila, and more than 50 biographies of individuals

who, even in death, have never made it home.

His company, Richard Sherman Photography, has operated as a certified, veteran-owned small business

for the last 13 years. His artwork has been purchased by more than 30 VA medical centers,

as well as dozens of private health care facilities, hospitality firms, and corporations.

Richard is a former Wall Street analyst and was a partner at two Boutique Financial Services firms.

He holds an MBA from Georgetown University, a BA from Lehigh University, as well as certificates in videography and professional photography from the New York Institute of Photography.

He is fluent in Spanish and speaks conversational French.

Richard is a former Navy officer and Gulf War veteran and is a member of several organizations, including the VFW and the American Legion.

Folks, Never Home is a beautiful book, and the journey inside it is one of deep gratitude

and love for those Americans who made the highest sacrifice for their country and their

comrades in arms.

I'm really looking forward to this discussion. So,
