War Bonds

A soldier’s Christmas greeting from Japan, 1945

December 25, 2014 Cindy Hval

Jack, Christmas, 1945Jack Rogers sent this greeting to his family when he was a young soldier far from home. His story is featured in War Bonds, chapter 20, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.”

Thinking about Jack today and our soldiers far from home this Christmas. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your columns in the Spokesman-Review. I was nodding in agreement as I read your column a couple of weeks ago about kids being expected to do chores at home. Right on! It’s nice to know that other parents still have the same expectations I do. Then when I read your column yesterday about your sons, my eyes welled with tears. I can relate since my “baby boy” is now 16 and is happily towering over me. You captured my sentiments exactly! So thank you for your excellent work! I’ll look forward to reading your columns in the future.

Order War Bonds

War Bonds eloquently tells the stories of the love for the ‘girl back home’ which sustained and gave courage to so many young men during times of great peril. A must read for any romantic.
