I love this site, but I've never posted before. My husband Tom (1/8, Beirut) just finished a novel he can't stop raving about. A great gift for a husband, or a son or daughter in the Corps. "The Blood We Shed" by William Christie. I'm not hyping or selling anything, check out the great reviews on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for yourselves. It's just as good as they say. Amazon has the best price.
