I wrote "On a Wing and a Prayer" |

It has to do with WWII. And I guess it comes out next week - according to the mail my wife just got.
Many of us had parents that protected us then -and we grew up with that hope.
A lot of them are gone now. But that knowledge isn't - can't be. And we cannot let it go.
The day it is "gone", I think we are screwed as a country.
We listened. Too many of us listened.

4. I can't prove it, but I think - we listened to our parents and |
|
grandparents from that war. And we learned something.
And have been forced with asshole leaders that just didn't get it.
And never will.

I just wrote a book about it.
I'll tell you one thing for a fact - your grandfather was a very brave guy. And I think you must take after him.

i guess I got confused with something else. There is another book called "Wing and a Prayer" that was written by my grandfather's navigator. It's amazing to see him mentioned so many times in the text. I only wish he hadn't died while I was so young. Is there any other info you can give about your book?
