TELL ME HOW GEAR

“Keeney highlights the honorableness of military life itself—on the one hand, its virtues are intense reflections of small-town values, and on the other hand, it is the gateway to extraordinary displays of heroism. The author takes readers on a meandering tour of America’s military past—this is clearly not intended as a scholarly or even popular history but rather a patriotic celebration of the country’s triumphs.” Kirkus Reviews

A book about patriotism, the flag and defending our American love of freedom.  This is a new book in praise of the military and the men and women who guard our freedoms. With powerful quotes in tribute to veterans and service members by Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, George Marshall, Stephen Ambrose, and many others. An ideal gift. Lavishly illustrated with 90 photos of service men and women and conflicts from WWII to present day Ukraine and Afghanistan. Kirkus review.

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause,” said Lincoln. “Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves; as he best can, the same cause.” 

Editorial Review: “Should be included in any collection strong in patriotic or military subjects!“ Midwest Book Reviews

“Every new American military recruit should get a copy. They would better understand and appreciate why they are serving!” John, President, historical society

“For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a purpose being in the Navy. It wasn’t about money and rank and prestige. It was about raising the flag. We do what we do because no one else can or will do it. We fight so others can sleep at night.”[i
