Fragmented Glory

Fragmented Glory is a combination of two books: Foot Prints of Red, White, and Blue and MilSpec Short Stories. Because of the popularity with those books, the author integrated their works into one single book. Three additional stories were added along with several more photos. Those changes and additions created a more enhanced book than either of the two previous ones by themselves. Stories of the military, from the training camps to the war zones, fascinate most everyone. Yet beyond those sacrificial battlefield tales are logistic and resourceful ones. There are thousands of military books published containing stories laced with blood, guts, and foul language. While those true grit events are naturally a part of the military way of life, there are a great many in society desiring to connect with that life, yet be shielded from much of its abrasiveness. Fragmented Glory was scripted to provide readers with quality stories of military adventure in the guarded format of its two predecessor books by capturing a few patriotic stories; those with unusual accounts from mission assignments. Drafted mostly from the author's experiences, the stories within this book range from humorous to serious, from planned to unforeseen, from routine to the heroic, and even ricochets into the unknown realm of UFOs. This book also explores a brief superficial look into the process involving the use of military specifications (MilSpecs) within the activities of military operations. Some of those eventful chronicles are: dog tags; the P-38 field can opener; M&M candy; the Jeep; and more very unusual accounts.
