Well, here&#8217;s a way to beat that feeling. Our buddy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/C.-Douglas-Sterner\/e\/B001JS95WQ\">Doug Sterner<\/a>, is making his books available free of charge next week in recognition of Veterans&#8217; Day. <\/p>\n<p>Doug started documenting valor awards at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeofheroes.com\/\">Home of Heroes<\/a>, he also maintains Military Times&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/valor.militarytimes.com\/home.php\">Hall of Valor<\/a>. He has compiled that information into several books;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In preparation for the big (Kindle) book giveaway next week, I recently re-did and updated the first volumes in each set (Navy, USMC, Army, USCG) and released the new USAF book. I&#8217;ve also re-formatted the Kindle versions to read a little easier. (Kindle is okay, but some of the readability of the tables is lost in the Kindle version.) The FIRST volumes (MOHs) in each set are now updated and current as of November 1. ALSO, as an aside, if anyone is interested, I do have TWO complete sets with everything except the USAF book which is so new I don&#8217;t have it myself yet. This is a set of 24 books, each from 400 &#8211; 600 pages. They are originals, and the only thing missing is the two most recent MOHs. Retail value of the 24-book set is $600 but to clear my in-house inventory, if anyone is interested I&#8217;ll sell each of these sets for $300 each, post paid and signed. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is the price acceptable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you have complained that you didn&#8217;t know about some of our military heroes until &hellip; <a title=\"Free books!\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=68724\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Free books!<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/68725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
