Build it.
While helping his own generation of veterans for the last decade, Andrew Biggio saw the urgency to honor and learn from the rapidly dwindling population of WWII veterans. In his research, he explores WWII veterans’ methods of living a successful life after combat, and passes it on to today's veterans. This sparked a three-year journey; and over two hundred veterans’ stories later, Andrew was fortunate to publish a written account of the experience, called "The Rifle."
