Dr. Sandra L. Russell's New Book "Salute to Honorable Men and Women" is an Inspiring Recognition of the Achievements and Sacrifices of Dozens of Unsung American Heroes
Recent release "Salute to Honorable Men and Women" from Page Publishing author Dr. Sandra L. Russell is a poignant and awe-inspiring tribute to the graduates of the Fort Knox Officer Candidate School ("OCS") and other OCS programs. This collection of true stories digs deep into the lives of true American patriots and is a trove of information on honor and sacrifice in service to the nation.
PALMER LAKE, Colo., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Sandra L. Russell, a blue star mother and wife of an Army officer who served his nation honorably in uniform for fifty years who has herself served as a college instructor, faith-based clinical counselor, mentor for persons in crisis, and a trainer on safeguarding children from sexual abuse, has completed her book "Salute to Honorable Men and Women": a must-read for general audiences interested in American military history.
Dr. Russell shares, "The OCS at Fort Knox Reunion held at the historic Sheraton Gunter Hotel, San Antonio, Texas, from August 18 to 21, 2016, was the inspiration for this book that hails the stories of Fort Knox OCS Candidates who lived to return from the Vietnam War and other postings in the Cold War. Their stories about survival and readjustment to life in their homeland inspired me. These stalwarts took to the stage and delivered personal sagas that left the audience spellbound. The writing muse nudged me. Stories were gathered from these honorable men. Exciting highlights unfold about their lives before, during, and after the Vietnam War. Why stop? Stories were sought from ordinary people, men and women, who served on battlefields; Gold Star moms who grieved the loss of military pilots; a spouse whose husband was missing for thirty-plus years; a mother whose son has never returned; World War II Italy warriors fighting alongside their brothers; the elite 10th Mountain Division Alpine Mountain Men; the US Coast Guard with daring rescues and routine lives that were anything but routine; and the average citizen, pilots facing horrific crash scenes, naval maneuvers offsetting war—meet these unsung heroes, the fabric of our United States of America."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Dr. Sandra L. Russell's book is a stirring homage to the valor and sacrifice of the men and women who sallied forth from Officer Candidate School to serve in various conflicts from World War II on, and the families who are left behind to wait, hope, and, too often, grieve.
