Jen Upshaw Swartz, editor of Military1 recently contacted me requesting writers with a military background who could write about a variety of topics. Here's a summary:
Thrilled to announce that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson will be on my Veterans Radio Network program "At Ease" on May 25, 2013. Program airs at 9 a.m. EDT and can be listened to at www.veteransradio.net.
As a combat flyer, I had several tours of duty in combat zones. I wrote a book about my experiences in the Gulf War. "Stormjammers: The Extraordinary Story of EW in the Gulf War" was talked about on NPR and featured in the Journal of Electronic Defense.
"Stormjammers" is available in print, audio and digital. If you like military history or gritty biographies, hope you'll pick up a copy today!
I am very excited to be a new member of MWSA and to share Comes A Soldier's Whisper, a collection of wartime letters with reflection and hope for the future.
Although these letters were written some seventy years ago between 1943-1945, they resonate the same sentiments of our soldiers today. A soldier's thoughts turn to family, the future and his past and is shown throughout my father's (David Clinton Tharp) personal letters sent home. War changes a soldier. It changes their family too...
