Maxine Rills on the Needs of Our Troops
My husband sent me this Maxine viral thing that's going around on the Web. I thought you might enjoy it as a reminder that this blog has a segment on it that gives you resources for ways to help our troops inexpensively and thoughtfully. Besides, I just love Maxine. She reminds me of my Aunt Hazel, now deceased. She would have approved!
MinoritiesWe need to show more sympathy for these people.
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.
I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that many politicians are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on [others], but don't support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them?

Air Force Commander Pens Thriller
I have a new series going at my New Book Review blog. Well, sort of a series. I wanted to pass forward the joy of being honored by the Military Writers Society of America for my chapbook of poetry Tracings. The 2009 batch of award winners are up and Colonel Michael “Mike” Angley is one of them.
Mike's award-winning book is the Child Finder Trilogy. He retired from the Air Force in 2007 following a 25-year career as a Special Agent with the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). He held 13 different assignments throughout the world, among which were five tours as a Commander of various units, to include two Air Force Squadrons and a Wing. He is a seasoned criminal investigator and a counterintelligence and counterterrorism specialist. His debut novel, Child Finder, received the Silver Medal for Fiction in the 2009 Military Writers Society of America’s Annual Awards program. Child Finder features a USAF Special Agent protagonist, and it gets its inspiration from Angley’s long, multifaceted career.
So, won't you go by and read the review of his book at http://www.thenewbookreview.blogspot.com? Leave him a comment. I know he'd love to feel the love.
