Honoring Veterans on Veterans Day, Author Book Signing in Rockville, MD
CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Joshua Tree Publishing is proud to announce that Timothy Trainer, a Bethesda, MD, author, will be signing his book, The Fortunate Son: Top, Through the Eyes of Others, at the Barnes and Noble location in Rockville, MD, Saturday, November 11, 2017.
"Mr. Trainer's book honors soldiers who served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969," said John Paul Owles, the publisher. "The Fortunate Son approaches the war, veterans, and military families from a unique perspective. It is as much a human-interest book as it is about Vietnam, revealing the lives of veterans and the sacrifices made by a military family. The Fortunate Son chronicles the journey of young men drafted and sent to serve in a rifle company in Vietnam in 1968. But, it also gives people an insight into the challenges the author confronted as the son of a career soldier," Mr. Owles explains.
"Joshua Tree Publishing felt privileged to honor these soldiers' first sergeant who happens to be the author's father. Before writing anything about 'Top,' Mr. Trainer decided to interview and write about each of these combat veterans, telling something of their experiences and how Vietnam affected them?and how that bond continues to this day," Mr. Owles explains. "As each man shared his story, Mr. Trainer realized how fortunate he was to be provided these invaluable insights about a different aspect of his father who was a career soldier."
The Fortunate Son received a Bronze Award from the Military Writers Society of America in September 2017. The review of the book by Vietnam Magazine reads, in part: "Rarely does one find a book devoted to the vital contributions of outstanding NCOs to the success of army units. That is exactly why this short but moving book resonates."
The Fortunate Son: Top, Through the Eyes of Others was published by Joshua Tree Publishing in April 2017. It is available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and independent booksellers as a trade paper, hardcover, and e-Book.
