In 2008 Bill began to write a book about the Korean War featuring stories by combat heroes. Bill called his book, “The Forgotten- Volume One” and flew to Seoul, Korea, in 2009 to deliver the first award winning volume to the President.
“It is difficult to imagine the anguish, the determination and yes even the fear, in the heart of a man driven by enemy fire into a fox hole. The man who just received an order to take a hill that was lost to the enemy has those same feelings. A fighter pilot about to roll in on a well defended target, for a split second, may have similar thoughts.
What a wonderful objective it is to capture the thoughts and actions of these men in combat. William A. Cummins has met this challenge with his remarkable book entitled, THE FORGOTTEN - a series of stories by Korean War veterans depicting their combat experiences in their very own words. Experiences from a war that must never be forgotten.”
