I published a book which is designed to be a fundraiser for American veterans. The link Silent Warriors by Edward Woods USMC Vietnam 1966-67: Arts & Photography | Blurb Books
A portion of the success of a book is tied to the person who writes the foreword. My search team suggested and rated potential contributors. There's and my forst choice was the person who accepted. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is the senior woman in congress and has a long history of support for vets. I'm not sure if your screen, especially a phone, will allow you to view the foreword and other written material so here it is:
I am honored to write the foreword for Silent Warriors. My husband, Dexter, who volunteered for combat service in Vietnam, is a recipient of the Purple Heart, and he knows first-hand the experience of soldiers and veterans who have dealt with the aftermath of conflict to this day. As our country continues to lead the world, we must ensure that we honor all servicemen and women who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms. Our family has a proud tradition of serving our nation, as evidenced by my stepson, Doug, who served as a Marine officer in Iraq, and his wife Lindsay, who also served as a Marine officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. Edward Woods, a combat Marine who served in Vietnam has done a wonderful job of curating words and images that present the veterans, families, volunteers, and citizens who honor those who gave their lives for our country. I hope you find deep value and significance in Silent Warriors as much as Dexter, our family, and I have.

I wrote and produced this book as a labor of love to honor those names on the Wall. I financed the project alone and all profit goes to I charity I am forming. I have applied for a 501c3
non profit charity status. I'm not asking anyone to buy the book, but if you do, in the USA you get a charitable deduction of $61.39.
What I ask, is when you have the time, to look at and read it and let me know if you see it properly. A half hour and you can see all images and read the text. I see it fine but I'm looking on a 27" iMac. Thanks. One more thing. Please look at the last image in the book and tell me if it means anything to you. Or what you think it may mean to certain viewers.
