About this ebook

Like every other red-blooded American, East Tennessee residents did all they could to help end World War II. Locals like "Petie" Siler signed up for service, despite having fought in World War I. Oak Ridge residents worked expeditiously on the Manhattan Project, gathering uranium-235 to fuel the first atomic bomb. Knoxville's Rohm & Haas Chemical Company branch furnished Plexiglas for aircraft. Military veterans Dewaine A. Speaks and Dr. Ray Clift detail the unified sacrifices and contributions of East Tennessee's honorable soldiers and civilians.

Dewaine A. Speaks

Dewaine Speaks worked for thirty-five years for Fulton Bellows, ending his career there as a national sales manager. He made sales calls and attended meetings with engineers in most states and several foreign countries. Some of the projects that the company worked on while he was with the firm are described in the book. During the many meetings with engineers who had applications or problems to be solved, Speaks never failed to notice the respect that Fulton and his products received. He often wondered why Fulton's story had never been told. So, he set out to do just that. Dewaine has authored three other books with The History Press.
