THEY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

They Will Not Be Forgotten presents a fascinating collection of inspirational wartime stories, from the perspective of veterans, from our Nation's Independence through Vietnam. It began like the genealogical search of so many families to find out more about the relatives who came before them. It led to the surprising discovery of the stories of family members spanning eight generations who each served in the conflict of their era, from the War of Independence through Vietnam. Through this book's masterfully re-created veterans' stories, blending documented historical research with his gift for storytelling, author Armand Kinslow breathes life into his humble quest to know more about his ancestors and to now promise that They Shall Not Be Forgotten.

Armand Kinslow joined the USMC as an infantry officer and then later served as an intelligence officer during the Cold War, Gulf War, and Global War on Terror, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. Between his military and government service, Kinslow spent four decades working in intelligence gathering and analysis. He is an avid history buff, particularly of America's military campaigns.

50% of the author’s royalties from this book go to veteran support groups.

CANCER, A LOVE STORY

Whether you're suffering from a serious disease or illness or caring for someone who is, Dave and Robert's love story and spiritual journey will inspire you to keep your faith in each other and in the world around you, even through the most difficult times.

Dave Faber and Robert McGehee were meant to be together: Less than two years after their first date, they were married.

They ate out together, went to movies, and did everything else a loving couple does. They even decided to train together for the Houston Marathon in 2006. Like every couple, they expected to face hard times, but neither was prepared for Robert’s diagnosis of esophageal cancer. But just like everything else, this was a fight they would wage together.

After learning what he was up against, Robert suggested to Dave that he keep friends and family informed about their battle against the disease. This account draws on that correspondence and includes intimate details of their battle that may have otherwise been lost. Dave stands by Robert’s side through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and physical therapy. Throughout his illness, their intimacy and love for each other grow.

THE STRIKE THAT CHANGED MARYLAND’S WILDERNESS COUNTY

As working people today face widespread anti-union campaigns led by politicians, corporations, and uber-wealthy capitalists, it’s not hard to fall into cynicism and despair. The forces lined up against labor are formidable. But are they unbeatable?

In 1970, in a deeply Republican county in Maryland’s wilderness country, the Garrett County road workers grew fed up with rejection after rejection of their requests. All they asked for was wage and benefit parity with Maryland state road workers.

But the anti-union County Commissioner majority was dead set against them.
So began the historic eight-month-long strike of Garrett County road workers. Led by Maryland’s AFCME Labor Council, the workers held out against political intransigence, hostility among the business class, and opprobrium from many of the local farmers.
How did they hold out so long? Find out in Len Shindel’s oral history of the strike, and find in your own workplace the courage and confidence to build union power and dignity for working people.
