She was assigned to France, where she helped the Resistance movement, escaped prisoners of war, and American Allied paratroopers.

After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered—against military regulations—the dog began to follow him. "Looks like you made a friend," another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged.... [Read More] Best Autobiographies For Young Adults
