A romance hatched in 1968 in war-torn Vietnam comes to a violent
end when enemy guerrillas attack the U. S. Naval Hospital at Da
Nang, taking the life of Navy nurse Angela Robbins and stealing her
opal engagement ring, given to her by Marine pilot Warner Nichols
in contemplation of marriage. Time and the War continue and
Warner's private focus remains on the missing ring and the identity
of the perpetrator. His life is almost destroyed except for Vic
Tobias, his wingman who monitors his every move in the air, and for
British nurse Jennifer Hartness, who cares for him as she positions
herself in Angela's shoes. It is only after Warner returns to the
States and is later re-assigned to Vietnam that a clue surfaces,
renewing his vow to unravel the mystery.

Confederate soldier Homer Lusta returns to Earth 150 years after
the Civil War, the War Between the States, or as Homer would say,
the War of Northern Aggression. He remains invisible as he searches
for an author to write the "real story" of that war. Finally Homer
selects "Old Bob," materializes himself, and convinces Bob to write
the story according to his memory. Homer's adaptation is reasonably
accurate and loaded with "Homer humor" as he recalls his endeavors
to save the South and protect underage brother, Lack, who illicitly
has sneaked, early on, into the battlefield. The boys are deceived
by a corrupt gang of Rebel deserters into thinking the War is over.
Unknowingly, they join these renegades, but soon realize they are
traitors involved in iniquitous activity. The boys decide to right
this wrong. They search out and inform appropriate Rebel officers.
Now having become heroes, the boys return home to accolades few in
that war-torn land could ever imagine.

More veterans died from suicide in a ten-year period than during
the entirety of the Vietnam War There is a very large problem in
our veteran community. Every day, 640 veterans attempt suicide, 22
veterans die, and over 5,500 are thinking about committing suicide.
Approximately 48% of all military members struggle after
transitioning from military service-but these struggles don't have
to be the end of their story. There is a bright and successful
future available for every veteran if we can help them reach their
greatest potential. From Service to Success is a lifeline for
veterans who seek to move past the pain and trauma of service and
adapt to a new way of living. A veteran himself, Bob Taylor shares
his experiences and the stories of others to remind readers that
they are not alone. According to Bob, "We need to find forgiveness
for ourselves, find a new purpose, learn new tools and skills, and
press forward so we don't spend the rest of our lives in the
darkness." In From Service to Success, Bob Taylor explains that
while it's very important for veterans to have the means to support
themselves, it is absolutely critical that they learn ways to
become a part of their community, to forgive themselves, to develop
healthy living styles, and to grab onto the best that life has to
offer. The three most important steps for veterans to take after
reading From Service to Success: Create a mindset of gratitude Find
a way to sleep through the night-if necessary, seek help to get
there Discover a purpose bigger than themselves
