I’m a journalist completing a book on the Hopes, Losses and Faith of those who serve/have served in the military, their families, and the leaders who are responsible in ensuring their service is for the greater Good of the world.

> I’d greatly appreciate emailed responses to THREE QUESTIONS (see below). Any of the responses published in the book will be fully credited with the individual’s name and associated information – unless a person wishes to remain anonymous. PLEASE make responses as long or as short as you like. Stories or explanations are always welcome. <

****
These are the THREE QUESTIONS I’d ask of anyone who’s serving, who’s served, or any family member of someone who’s serving or served in the military:

(1) What gives you hope and sustains you each day?

(2) What do you Believe in?
(It could be an Idea; a person or persons; a Spirituality; or anything else.)

(3) What’s the most important thing you’ve learned in your Life at this point in time?

Please email responses to:
FaithTitle@laceygroup.net

* PLEASE feel free to forward this on to anyone you think might be appropriate. All emails will be personally responded to and any questions are welcomed. *

As the son of a Vietnam-veteran USAF combat pilot (Thunderchief), grandson of a WWI US Army infantryman, great-great grandson of a Union Captain in the American Civil War, and close friend to those who’ve served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Beirut for the U.S., British, French, Australian and Israeli military, I simply want to shed a light on the spirit that drives and sustains in periods of supreme adversity; when humanity is at its best and worst.

Thank you so very much for your time and your kind help with this project.

i have waited a great deal of time to see what responses you receive concerning your request for interviews. as you can probably see, there is not a great deal of interest. what the heck kind of questions are those? i will answer all three and suspect that there are many of us 'ole vets would answer the same but choose not to.

1. what gives me hope and sustains me each day? that there are authors out there that would actually take information given to them by vets of my era and not use it to slam us and the war we fought in.
2. what do you believe in? that's an easy one...me and a few other guys that i would share my last anything i had with.
3. what's the most important thing you've learned in your life at this point in time? not to trust anyone writing a book that hasn't been there. any and all comments have a nasty habit of being rewritten to fit an author's agenda.

good luck.
