    About this ebook

    American soldiers have fought in humid jungles and dusty deserts. Most of their heroic deeds are so secretive they may never me publicized. Heroes. Our heroes are preserving honor, promoting peace, and fighting for democracy within and far beyond the borders of the United States of America. Our heroes believe in justice and the American Dream so avidly they bravely risk their lives on each mission, leaving the love they have for their wives, husbands, sons, daughters, and friends in a tiny protected corner of their hearts so they can live to fight another day.
    Whether they don an Airforce, Army, Coast Guard, Marine, National Guard, or Navy uniform they deserve our respect, our salute, and our thank you. Not all of our camouflage warriors will make it home unharmed and sometimes being the supportive spouse at home is emotionally draining. Its hard to live in the reality of the unknown.
    This book is a tribute to our soldiers and to the backbone of spouses that support them. It is for the wounded and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The author will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

      Maybe I would characterize 2016 as a movie car chase, and 2017 as the reveal where all of us anonymous motorists who got side-swiped, flipped, forced off bridges and into concrete abutments, rise out of the wreckage yelling for real. My list is compo

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I

      The Courage To Be Happy

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather
