EMBRACE THE PAST, EMPOWER THE PRESENT, ENRICH THE FUTURE
This book is dedicated to those who laid the foundation and established the platform for our American freedom: those who have served in the past, presently serve, or will serve our military forces in the future.They are the epitome of the human spirit called freedom.
Because of my strong affinity toward our military, a portion of the proceeds from book sales will benefit the Wounded Warrior Program and/or the Veterans of Foreign Wars. This is solely a personal, heartfelt decision and is not for advertisement or endorsement of either program.
AWAKENINGS FROM THEN 'TIL NOW
Open your mind to discovery and reflection...
History is a mighty dramos, enacted upon the theatre of times, with suns for lamps and eternity for a background. —Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
From me...
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
Lived and died laying a firm foundation
Blood, sweat, tears, labors, even fears
Paved the way for future innovation
Generation upon generation
Of caregivers and caretakers
Ensure longevity of our nation
From carpenters to boot makers
Vivid stories and recollectons
Allow us to peer into the past
Sense the emotion, discern the pain
Echoing memories to last and last
Past events dominate present-day life
Through traditions, beliefs, and religions
Surviving countless ravages of time
Regardless of conflicts and afflictions
Through traditions, beliefs, and religions
Surviving countless ravages of time
Regardless of conflicts and afflictions
To you...
Turn the pages, awaken to timeless treasures from then 'til now
Embrace the past, empower the present, enrich the future
See yourself not as an isolated individual
But part of a thread binding life together like a suture
Begin your footsteps...
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are. —David C, McCullough (1933-Present)
