My Grandpa's War is a touching story about the special relationship between a 9-year-old girl and her grandfather, a veteran of the Vietnam War. A lingering war injury has put her grandpa in the hospital prompting her to tell his tale. Although her name is Mae, her grandpa calls her 'Sarge' in honor of a close friend he served with in Vietnam. Told through the insight of a child, My Grandpa's War deals with a difficult time in our nation's history; however, it does so in a positive and healing way. 'Sarge' and her grandpa make a special trip to Washington, D.C. and she is given an even deeper understanding of friendship, sacrifice and dedication to one's country. At the end of the story, Grandpa receives a very unexpected and meaningful gift and learns that his young granddaughter was right when she said: Sometimes something good can come from something bad.
