We, the WWII veterans who brought forth the baby-boomer generation and one of the greatest eras of growth in America's history, owe our livelihood to the GI Bill. And further, to the men and women who are disabled like me, our monthly disability checks have never stopped. Although these things were bestowed upon us at a high price, truly there is no way to say thank you.
The little in proceeds received from my book, I Was Trained To Be A Spy, I give back to support these United States Veterans groups and others.

Together we will continue honoring those fallen as well as those living.
