BRANSON VETERAN''S WEEK & STARS & FLAGS BOOK AWARDS


Dave and I were thrilled to travel to Branson Missouri November 4 for the Nov 5 Veteran's Week opening ceremonies where our family book, Heart of a Hawk was awared the Branson Stars & Flags Book Awards Silver Medal for inspirational category.

We recommend all veterans to plan a trip there in the future. Branson honors American's veterans and provides a weeks worth of activities. We were sorry we had to leave before November 10 and the Marine Corps Ball with Oliver North as guest speaker.

Veterans or family members of veterans can make an appointment to video record their stories at the War Museum. These recordings are created for the Library of Congress Military History Project. I did this in honor of my husband USMC retired and our son, Sgt Patrick Tainsh.

We plan to return next year.
