Recommended reading

I just finished reading a book I HIGHLY recommend. It's titled "RADIOMAN" It's about a man who was in the navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked . He later was on an aircraft carrier when it was sunk.

This man, Ray Daves, is now 88 years old. We first knew Ray and his wife Adeline back when we were teenagers attending the same church. We more recently have renewed our acquaintance at our present church.

Ray would never discuss his experience about the war. If asked he'd simply say "I don't talk about it" I am greatly surprised that he has given a detailed account in this book. As I understand it, the author wanted to write about his experience and at the encouraging of his wife and daughter he agreed. I'm glad he did, because it not only gives me insight as to what he's about, but it reveals what WW2 was really like for those who fought. I have a greater appreciation for these men. I spoke to him recently to tell him I was reading the book and he paused and started to choke up, and again said "I don't talk about it" He did say the author did a great job.

I believe this book is a "must read" especially for the younger generation. I believe it will give a greater appreciation for the freedom we have in this country. This book has an endorsement by Newt Gingrich. It's available through Overstock and Amazon and I'm sure other sources as well.
