And, how...I have absolutely got to read this book! And, how had I not known about your previous work, Aimie? Writing about the unsung heroines must be such a rewarding project. Interviewing the author of the non-fiction book was such a great bonus for you and in return, for readers. I hadn't heard about the Hello Girls, as I'm sure many others haven't either, and they so deserve to be recognized. I recently watched a PBS special about WWI, and while it was amazing, it was about the men of the war. My husband and I visited the WWI Museum in Kansas City last year and enjoyed it so much. Two years ago in New Orleans I visited the WWII Museum, which was equally impressive. <br /><br />So, I'm off to pre-order your book, Aimie. Thank you so much for visiting the Jungle Reds today and bringing this important piece of history to our attention. I would like to think that I would have been involved during WWI or WWII if I had been of age, but it's a step up that I can't say for sure I would have made. Such brave women (and men).

He talked about all the states they rode the train through from Ft McClellan, Texas all the way to Camp Merritt, NJ. He went over to France in August, 1918 and his letters to family were all upbeat. He did mention conditions, battles, air battles, dodging shrapnel, all in a positive fashion. They were in the field Armistice Day. From the letters it looks like he was still in France in May, 1919, still waiting to go home.<br /> <br />Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-37471915185849999692018-07-20T16:43:53.826-04:002018-07-20T16:43:53.826-04:00I'm NOT a fan of Kindle Unlimited, as I dislik...I'm NOT a fan of Kindle Unlimited, as I dislike the manner in which they compute sales and author payment.
