Just Give Me 10 Minutes
Gail has an incredible perspective as the mother of an injured Corpsman who suffers from PTSD. At the Armed Forces Foundation, we believe families serve too and Gails journey is one necessary to tell. When I first met Gail six years ago at Bethesda, I was immediately taken in by her warmth and generosity. Shes a natural and gifted storyteller who deserves far more than 10 minutes. Patricia Driscoll, President of the Armed Forces Foundation Christmas Day 2006. Dustin Edward Kirby was serving his second tour in Iraq. The dreaded phone call came; Dusty had received small arms enemy fire. This is a first-hand account of how this event changed Dustins life and the lives of his family, and their seven year struggle to understand not only the physical trauma inflicted by his injury, but also the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The physical impact of the injury was critical as the armor piercing bullet travelled through his face. The emotional and psychological impacts have been debilitating. This is the story of a family making every attempt to find a way to give their hero the reasons that he needs to live...every single day.

A Thousand Cups of Rice
A Thousand Cups of Rice by Kyle Thompson, is an intimate account of what happened to this American teenager when he and his battalion of field artillery men were captured early in the war, and spent three and one half years under the heel of Imperial Japanese Army. This small group of mostly Texas National Guardsmen along with hundreds of thousands of Allied POWs and Asian coolie laborers were forced to undergo inhuman mental and physical stress while constructing the 265-mile "Death Railway" through the jungles of Burma and Thailand, and before it was completed in late 1943, more than 100,000 of them had been killed or died of horrible diseases. The heartless Asian monsoon contributed to these deaths, but mostly they were caused by long hours of hard labor, an extreme shortage of food, and little or no medical treatment for the numerous jungle diseases that struck these laborers.
The War Years
War is never a good thing. Many lives are lost, sometimes all in the same family. This is an account of this Shelton family and their time during the war years. The first six boys served within the first six years of WWII together. Both the Korean and Vietnam periods were included in their history in that the younger two boys served during that period. The fact they all survived is amazing.
