Breaking news! Check out my guest post on USA Today's HEA blog to celebrate this special birthday at this link.
Climbing high into the sun
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
Today the US Air Force celebrates its 68th Air Force! It is my distinct pleasure to feature the airmen, er, women from the RomVets, "military women who have turned the sword to the pen."

Some of my favorite authors are listed here!!!
ReplyDeleteI have read PC Cast, Delores Fossen, Elle James, Merline Lovelace, Pam McCutcheon, and maybe a few more. Do I know any Air Force family members? My husband is retired Air Force, so yes, I do. Quiet a few.
ReplyDeleteI have read a book from only one of these authors. So I'm going to have another look at this list :)
ReplyDeletePC Cast, Christa McHugh, Diana Duvall. My respect for them has just jumped upwards!

ReplyDeleteI have several PC Cast books and a couple of Merline Lovelace.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday USAF! My father-in-law served as an enlisted man in the Air Force - he retired when his kids were close to graduating from high school rather than take another posting across the country and disrupt the kids HS experience. :-)

Happy 68th Birthday to the USAF. My husband proudly served in the USAF for 24 years. I've read a couple of the authors books listed above.
