Mona Sizer, of Harlingen, and her 36th book “The Glory Guys, The Story of the U.S. Army Rangers” will be featured at the Willacy County Historical Museum Sunday, Feb. 21, at 3 p.m.

Beginning with the inception of Ranger units by Captain Robert Rogers during the French and Indian War, the book records the incredible battles fought and won by Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion (the Revolution’s most popular soldier after George Washington), Texas Ranger Captain Ben McCulloch at Buena Vista during the Mexican War, Lincoln’s Commando William Barker Cushing, the Gray Ghost of the Confederacy Colonel John S. Mosby, General Frank Merrill of Merrill’s Marauders in Burma, and Colonel Orlando Darby of Darby’s Rangers at Anzio.

She faithfully records the almost miraculous taking of Pointe de Hoc, where Col. James E. Rudder’s Rangers scaled its 150- foot cliff hand-over-hand with bayonets to take out the guns overlooking the Allies landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day. Rangers in Korea, VietNam, Somalia, and Desert Shield are told with crystal clarity. Her book ends with a chapter by Lt. Col. Robert L. Pickett, U.Í. Army (Ret.) on the Ranger Training School at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Sizer graduated from Raymondville High School and has written extremely interesting books about our area. This event is free and the public is invited.
