Hometown Heroes

One of the gentlemen in this book was the Grand Marshal at our local annual Flag Day parade. I sent it to him and he autographed it for me. Great to have 'good news' books when so much doom is in print.

"A Fun Read"

I truly enjoyed this book! I especially enjoyed the map showing where all the heroes were located in the United States. We hear so many negatives in the news, I like to focus on the positive. Reading this book makes one realize there are so very many heroes and good among us.
