Book in Hand

Unless you have authored and published a book, you cannot know the feeling of exhilaration I had when I opened that box from my publisher. To see and feel the finished product almost brought me to tears I was so thrilled. A lot of work had been put into the book, but I will be first to admit that is has been a labor of love. I can't encourage you enough, especially veterans, to take the time to write down your life's experiences. When you pass on to greener pastures, all of your stories are gone unless you put them on paper. Some friend or relative may be able to tell a couple of things about you, but you are the best story teller of your own life. Take the time to do it even if you never publish it, your family will love you for it. Just do it!
