Memorial Day
Joe Calley was a decorated WWII hero. Every year he marched in the Memorial Day parade in his hometown of Downers Grove, Iowa. The parade led to the town’s cemetery where Joe would say a prayer honoring the war dead and then retreat to a dark room in the back of his house. Blinds drawn and door shut, he would spend the rest of the day in seclusion.
Benjamin Calley had been estranged from his father, Joe, ever since his day in college. Now living in Chicago, Ben cannot get past the haunting memory of his father marching in the parade and closing himself off from the world. Ben decides this Memorial Day will be different. He determines he will get past the door of seclusion and find out the answer to the mystery of Memorial Day. Yet, Ben is not prepared for what he will find on the other side of that door.

The storyline was captivating. The back and forth and following up with each of the main characters was well done. I have been to the 22 major battlefields of the Civil War. All the back and forth in Virginia, the trip to Andersonville brings back many fond memories of my trips there.
Every high school and college student should be required to read the introduction to your books. Excellent books!
Well written and researched.
Your program was A+, and highly informational and educational. Your presentation pacing was spot-on and the amount of information covered was excellent. Your engagement of all ages that attended is to be commended, as was your recognition of the military veterans in the group.
