Lynness- Military reading

Well, I've finally decided what to read about. I have been trying to
figure out all month what to read, but hadn't come across anything that
piqued my interest or that I thought I would enjoy. I wanted something
fast-paced and not too bogged down in dates and tactics, which is the
sort of thing my dad- a huge WWII buff- would have suggested. I decided
to google "veterans day reading list" and see what I came up with. I
found a children's reading list and one suggested read was a book about
the Tuskegee Airmen. BINGO! We had a playgroup a few months ago where
one of the moms had lined up a tour of the county airport (no commercial
flights, but they have police and EMS helicopters and private and
charter planes and flying lessons). The guide talked a little bit about
the Tuskegee Airmen b/c there was a mural in the main building of one by
his plane- turns out he is a local resident. My dad told me a little
more- about how, since they were black, they were not considered as
capable as white airmen. They were also considered more 'expendable'
and were put at the front of convoys (reminds me of Uriah), but not a
single one was lost (reminds me of Helaman's 2000 stripling warriors).
Anyway, I've reserved a book and we'll see how it goes! I'm excited!

Raehink: FYI December Read

We will continue with the November reading into December. I have a book in mind and haven't been able to get to it due to matrimonial festivities here in Utah. So, continue on in the military mode. Enjoy your respective Turkey Days. And, as always,

Happy reading!
