I know this biography has had a lot of views so far, I would like some feedback if possible. I put a lot of work and thought into this military biography; I want to make sure I did a sufficient job honoring those that fought there.

Well done - good read and helps save a little individual human piece of a struggle that was too large for most of us to fully comprehend or relate to our own experiences.
