Thank you Military Officers of America Association!

Yesterday I had the privilege to speak to the Military Officers of America Association in Rexford NY at the prestigious Edison Club on a beautiful late spring day. Thanks to Major "Skip" Bebernitz for inviting me! I met some wonderful and interesting men and women who treated me to a delicious dinner after which I spoke for an hour about my book, "We Were There", three days after the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. I read from my story of Corporal Jack Higgins, who was one of the first men to come ashore on Omaha Beach, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, liberated Dachau concentration camp and narrowly missed being obliterated by a German V-1 "buzz bomb" during World War II. A good time was had by all!
