FORGOTTEN WARRIORS;
Stories From the Korean War


Korea is Americ's Forgotten War. We were unprepared for war when North Korea invaded the South. Our men were outnumbered, outgunned, and untrained. Not only did they have to fight a ruthless, seasoned enemy, but had to contend with extreme weather conditions, and an unforgiving terrain. Of the 1.7 million Americans who served in the war, 33,686 were killed in action, 103,000 were wounded, and more than 7,900 are still missing in action. Forgotten Warriors is their story.

MUSINGS From the Land of the Clear Mountain

This book is the product of my twenty-five year journey along the byways of Clermont County history. Our history is fascinating. You never know what you're going to discover. Recently, I found the story of a Bethel resident who was named a Communist in a 1950 Congressional committee attended by Richard Nixon. There was a young paratrooper from Amelia who was a member of the famed World War II "Band of Brothers." Clermont was once home to three 19th century communes. These and other stories are included in this book.

BEYOND THE NAMES;
A Tribute to Clermont County Ohio Vietnam War Dead


During the course of the research for this book I have had the great honor of talking with family members of our Vietnam dead. I have come to realize that they still grieve, mourning their loss every day. They think about their loved ones all the time and wonder about the lives that might have been. Some are haunted by still unanswered questions. Others are resentful that we had for so long failed to honor their loved one. This book is also about those left behind.
