one of our members, Michael Mullins, contributed a poem to help me commemorate Dec. 7on my blog at www.warpeacetolerance.blogspot.com. He is the author of Vietnam in Verse, poetry for beer drinkers. "ViV" won the Gold Medal for poetry from Military Writers Society of America in 2007. I hope MWSA members will go leave a comment--perhaps some encouragement--for their fellow writer.




Mike's book is available on line from on-line Amazon, B&N, and B-a-M book stores and as an audio-book from the author. Please contact him at this e-mail address; mullins.m.1@comcast.net or via land mail at POB 456 Windfall, In. 46076.
Vietnam Veteran, Delta 3/7, 199th Light Infantry, '68-'69.
He is also Vice President of the MWSA. One dollar from either version goes to the Wounded Warrior Project.
