A Salute To Our Veterans is about war stories never told before, compiled and documented from 35 United States Military Veterans that served in the military during World War One, World War Two, the Koren War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. They also served during the Cuban Crises, Grenada Crises, Desert Storm and Desert Shield, in Lebanon, Afghanistan and the Iraq War, etc. All the veterans in the book have been interview by me, except the last five in the book that are deceased. The last five veterans in the book are family members of our friends or relatives that asked me to include them in the book, they gave me the information about them. I tried to stick to the veterans stories, but after interviewing them, and researching where they had served and visualizing them there, I felt it would be interesting to the reader to also tell about some of the battles that they serve during. I also included some veterans that didn't have to go to the battlefront, their assignments were at home in support of the fighting troops. The stories in this book mark the period from 1918, WW I and continue through to 2007. This book has thirty-four veterans in it, and tells about what they did in the military for our country.

A Salute To Our Veterans is a book about individual stories that veterans have told the writer during interviews, what they did as youngsters, about when they were old enough to go to war, where they signed up, went to basic training, what unit they served with, and where they fought during the wars. In the book are stories never told before by 29 veterans of World War II, 10 Korean War veterans, and six veterans from the Vietnam War and others. In the book are sailors, solders, marines and Air Force men. The stories mention the ships they were apart of and the ships that carried them to battles. The World War II veterans have told me stories of battles that they fought 60 years ago, and they are still fresh in their minds. It was amazing that when I put it down on paper, they wanted to check to see if I was as precise as they were. They never forget. Some people that read the stories will be able to relate to them, for they may have been at the same battle. Readers may find in my book someone they use to know, a lost comrade. The veterans remembered the units they fought with also. There is also a whole history of events that took you back to places during the wars. One of the veterans gives a full detailed story about his experiences in Vietnam, when he was fighting during Vietnam's worst fighting, the Tet Offensive and Khe Shan Operations. It also features a US Marine stationed in China after the end of WWII. After reading this book, you will be more aware that there are veterans like the ones in the book in your neighborhood. You might even want to give them one of these books for a gift.

A Salute to Our Veterans - Vignettes of the "CAN DO" Seabees takes the reader into the immensely intriguing would of the U.S. Navy's Construction Battalions. Deriving their name from the abbreviation of the term "Construction Battalion," the Seabees have a proud tradition of building roads, airfields, bases and other military facilities under combat conditions, often on real estate that was being hotly contested by U.S. and enemy troops. Often, the Seabees have causeways and serviceable roads in place within hours of an amphibious landing, necessitating construction in areas that had not been entirely cleared of enemy troops. This highly readable trade paperback presents the first hand accounts of 36 men from different backgrounds and eras that are joined by the common thread of service with the Seabees. Author Irene Dumas provides a glimpse of ordinary men who served in a most extraordinary organization in times of war and peace. In her personable style, she tells a story that all members of the family can enjoy. Her stories richly portray many major military and world events from the perspectives of those who actually lived through them. Although the exploits of the Seabees in the South Pacific in World War Two are well known, some of their missions in Europe, Korea, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean are less well known. Told by the men who carried the carbines and ran the bulldozers, this book plunges deeply into human experience that is all too quickly passing into history.

I have been an advocate for WWII veterans recording their experiences for future generations for many years. I believe generations to come need to know what cost and sacrifice these men and women endured to protect our country and world. They sacrificed years of their lives and many gave their lives for our country. Most veterans look back on their experiences in the military as building blocks for the rest of their lives. I believe that each veteran is a library, and when that veteran is gone, it is like the library is burned.

This book is composed of individual essays that I have written over the last 15 years. They address a variety of topics ranging from the 1944 Normandy invasion to other combat areas that I have had significant personal experience with, beginning with Vietnam through the birth of today's special operations forces. Much of the real background history has been lost over time and I wish to memorialize it while I still can. Above all else, these essays are a salute to the infantry: Army and Marine, who among our military, have borne the greatest burden in all our wars and conflicts since the birth of this nation. I have written these essays with the hope that the lay reader can learn to appreciate the experience of the uniformed participant in our national conflicts and understand the sacrifices and issues that a very small portion of our population experiences on behalf of us all. Normandy has been a particular obsession of mine since I was 10 years old. I commanded the 40th anniversary return to Normandy by the 82d Airborne in 1984 and have been returning there every year to provide staff rides to the U.S. and Allied soldiers and airmen that arrive each year. I have had the privilege of walking the ground with many of the original veterans and gaining insights that no history book contains. I firmly believe that the invasion was the greatest single effort our civilization has ever undertaken and probably ever will. It represents a microcosm of what we are as a people and what our uniformed personnel are all about. It and they are unique. Normandy is unique, hallowed, and largely untouched ground and above all else, it is the story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, which is the foundation of our nation. Vietnam was the war for my generation. Among many things, I learned to appreciate the qualities of other nationalities as well as the frailties and shortcomings of my own. Above all else, Vietnam gave me a very personal lifelong appreciation for the common soldier doing his work in an uncommon manner; he above all else deserves our respect and appreciation. Grenada was a true watershed in our history. It put the ills of Vietnam behind us, gave us a renewed sense of national pride and was the epitome of what America is all about - returning democracy to those that had lost it and acting as a symbol of selfless sacrifice for something greater than each of us. Grenada, with its failures, provided the impetus for badly needed reforms to the special operations community and spawned all the tools and capabilities that today we take for granted. The Desert Wars have been a huge national stress test for our military. Years of difficult grunt labor for ambiguous purposes and possibly lost causes have not diminished in the slightest the strength and will of our uniformed Americans, despite the fact that they deserve far more than what their nation has granted them in return for their service. Reflections is a collection of comments and observations that have no specific geographical or campaign purpose but make specific points regarding issues and people. The Special Operations experience was perhaps the most meaningful for me on a personal basis. I was there in the beginning with the Iran hostage rescue attempt and saw on a very personal basis how the services resisted and fought creation and enhancement of the capabilities we now enjoy and take for granted. I had a small part in the creation of what we see today as born through the Nunn-Cohen Amendment, MFP 11 (SOF Funding), and Goldwater-Nichols. Despite the institutional pain I suffered as a result of the association, I wear the scars with great pride and know that the capabilities and values will remain long after my passing.
