[OPLINLIST] Author Col. Calvin G. Lyons Book Signing If These Stones Could Talk

[Peggy Johnson]

      Meet Author Col. Calvin G. Lyons at his book signing If These
      Stones Could Talk on September 24th from 10:00 - 12:00 at the Oak
      Hill Public Library, 226 South Front Street, Oak Hill, Ohio 45656.

This book tells individual stories of WWII American Veterans buried in 
our overseas cemeteries. Individual vignettes and photos of each veteran 
and their families bring into sharp focus the sacrifices of the 
"Greatest Generation" of Americans and their families. In many cases, 
several decades past before the orphaned children of these deceased 
veterans were able to learn about their fathers. Also included in the 
book is a CD of patriotic music provided by the Paralyzed Veterans of 
America. Highly recommended by three high-ranking retired military officers.
