15 Books for Veteran’s Day
I know, I know, I’m a day late for Veteran’s Day in the U.S. I was sure that I already had a list for Veteran’s Day, but when I went looking yesterday to re-tweet the list, I couldn’t find one! I’ve got a list for Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day, but nothing for Veteran’s Day!
So, I wanted to make sure I share just a few titles with you. Some are historical fiction titles, some are nonfiction, and some are fictional titles with military families, but all provide just a tiny glimpse into what it means to serve your country in the military both as a soldier and the family at home.
I want to thank all the veterans out there for the sacrifices you’ve made. I appreciate you.
