Dear Readers

It's fishing and fair time, and I beg your patience while I enjoy both. It's also canning time, and although sparkling jars of fresh canned peaches and pears are on the shelves, I'll be canning prunes and apples soon. Squash, tomatoes and beans, and carrots and onions await their turn for storage, too.

It's that busy time of year but I'll publish news as it arrives as consistently as possible.
I appreciate your understanding and patience.

"I'm going to do a few posts on book promotion, starting with today's: promoting your book through book clubs. Come on over and promote your books, too! "

Organizing a Worley Historical Society to be Discussed, August 16, 2012

The Purple Heart and Its Hall of Fame

230 years ago August 7th, in 1782, General Washington ordered the establishment of the Badge of Military Merit, the inspiration for today's Purple Heart.

The Purple Heart is one medal no one wants… it is earned with blood and the price paid for it can be catastrophic.

If you are interested, here are two sites that honor and support our Nation’s Purple Heart Recipients.

National Purple Heart Hall of Fame: http://www.thepurpleheart.com/ 

Located in Windsor, NY,  here you can enroll in their Roll of Honor database and tell your story, or you can search their database.

It doesn’t matter if their recovery is short or their road to recovery is long,  “I still got this fire in my heart” is something we see every time we visit the combat patients at Walter Reed or Richmond VAMC.

“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. –Thucydides”

Thank you for serving our country.
