Discovering details of my father’s WWII experience set me on my path as an author. Researching Alex Vellis’ involvement with the OSS Operational Groups in occupied Greece set me on a path to write a novel based on his experiences. As the of these “Greatest of the Greatest Generation” slowly pass into the history they made I try to keep my dad’s memory alive and those with whom he served. Here is a great article from Hellenic News about the Greek Operational Groups with link to a comprehensive discussion of the history of these amazing Greek Americans. My dad was in OG III, S/Sgt. Alex Vellis, but there is so much more to tell. Thank’s dad! https://hellenicnews.com/the-us-greek-battalion-wwii/
