Heartfelt Tribute : Honoring Our Forgotten Heroes [The CJ Moneyway show]

So I wrote the book from a series of letters I was given that he wrote home and also some stories that his family told. And I'm very excited that we were in Indiana, Vincennes, Indiana, over the summer in August, and we had a memorial service for him. He's still buried in France.

I went to school there.

Yeah, did you?

At Vincennes. As a matter of fact, that's where I met my wife.

We were there, we were there in August, and we were at the Indiana Military Museum, which is in Vincent, and we had a beautiful service for him with a 21-gun salute and a proclamation by the mayor. It was really beautiful, and about 20 members of his family came. And so I wrote the book, my friend asked me to write it, it's her uncle, and we wanted to honor not only Bud but all the men who served in the Graves Registration Service, because let's face it, when you You see a movie, you see planes falling out of the sky and guys shooting at each other and you see big battles on the ground, but then the page turns or the scene changes and no one is there to say what happens next. Look, someone's got to clean this up.

Yeah.

And they also had to clean up, you know, civilians and that it was, it's a horrible, horrible job and his letters broke my heart. So that's called Your Forgotten Sons. And in fact, I'm going to Georgia this, this week, next week for some more book tour on this. But that— it's a tough book to write, but I'm glad I did. It's my 6th traditionally published book.
