Tour de Troops

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. On the final day of the tour, your virtual feet must be tired from all the hopping!

I'm thrilled to be taking part in the Tour de Troops. Married to a now-retired Air Force man and as the daughter of a long-term Army serviceman, I've grown up with that ingrained honor and respect for those who serve and protect our country and its ideals. In fact, when I think about it, my family crosses over all military lines: from Air Force to Army to the Marines, the Merchant Marines and the Navy. 

If you're following the holiday weekend tour, the stop before mine is Nicole Galland and the next stop is Urban Fantasy writers Rachelle Reese and John E. MillerBut first, hang with me and get your free ebook "The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf: A New Orleans Threesome." 

As an involved bystander, I want to thank all that have sacrificed to serve our country. When I think of my own personal experiences, there are a few things I’d like to share.

Preserving Memories

A few years ago, my Papa – grandfather – passed away. He served in the Marines during the Korean War. Many people discuss the importance of writing names on the backs of photos to identify those pictured. Think about the act as preserving history. Not only are the people important, but also the locations that they were taken.

Likewise, when dealing with older black and white images, or even color photographs, consider scanning in the pictures – and backing them up – so there’s a crisp digital image to preserve.

Along the same lines, save those letters. It’s amazing for me to read the thoughts of my great-grandfather, and grandfather, as they spent countless months away from home. Many people correspond via email. These missives also can be stored electronically or printed in the book. Don’t think about preserving the memories simply for oneself, but also for future generations.

Connections

As a writing teacher, I’ve worked with many active duty and veterans in college. While it may be difficult, writing about one’s experiences also can be quite helpful. As a supportive friend, family member or even a teacher, it’s important to let the individual express himself or herself without critiquing the work. Once more time and distance comes between the work and the individual, and they request feedback, then that’s the time to offer suggestions. 



While I'm not an "indie" author, I am sponsoring a free ebook for each person who leaves a comment, and one for a troop. Plus you'll be entered into a drawing for a Kindle, sponsored by the writers taking place in the tour and the Indie Book Collective. (Make sure to leave your email address so we can contact you!) So in order to receive an ebook, tell me: What's your favorite American food?

Next stop: Rachelle Reese and John E. Miller
Thank you for stopping by, and once again thank you to all of our troops. Remember your next stop will be: Rachelle Reese and John E. Miller.

  3. Favorite American Food is hard - I'm southern so bbq is one of my favs
    I agree a preserving the memories, I've becoming the member of our family in charge of scanning and have had to call older members of the family to question them about who that is standing next to grandmother in that picture quiet often.

  4. Favorite American Food, eh? I may have to agree with the last poster (Penny). I'm a yankee who a year ago moved into the South.

    Southern-style BBQ? North Carolina Ribs? Hard to say, but it's great, American food! :)

  5. My favorite American Food . . . Well, to be honest I am not sure what food item came from where. French fries . . are they french? We all know we like the good ole comfort foods (no matter the origins) Mac n Cheese, potato salad, corn bread, pinto beans . . . you get the picture.

    If you ask me what I would want for a special dinner . . It would come from an Italian Restaurant or a Mexican Restaurant, lol.

  6. Like everyone else my favorite American food isn't really American, it's PIZZA smothered with everything but jalapenos and anchovies.

    If you asked me what I wanted for a special dinner I would say Japanese or Mexican food. Maybe the great thing about food is we have so much to choose from.

    If possible could you send the soldiers copy of your book to Private Zach Schaneberger. His email address is zach dot schaneberger at gmail dot com.

    My favorite American food...Green Bean Casserole. My family used to have it only on holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter but now that I'm the chef in the family, we have it as a regular side.

  23. What's my favorate American Food? The hamburger. Not just any burger, but the thick juicy ones my dad puts on the BBQ on summer holidays like Memorial Day. There's nothing like it in the restaurants because there is so much meaning and love that goes with it.

    Thank you for helping support our troops with copies of your book.

    God Bless.

  24. Is there such a thing as American food? In history classes I have learned that our country is a melting pot. When I think of my favorites they actually came to America by way of the immigrants who poured into this country. My all time favorite food is from a place here in Globe, AZ called The Burger House. I always order the regular burro enchilada style and a taco. That is the best food ever. Thanks for this blog tour and supporting the troops.

  28. Thank you for sharing your story with the troops. I'm honored to help with that. Just a few days ago I found the photos of my grandfather who served in WWII, among others, and scanned them to preserve them for my family to enjoy. When my grandparents pass, I hope to get a hold of the others and continue the preservation. It's a great idea.

    My favourite American food? Corn bread.
    I have a story about it:
    After WWII, France didn't have enough flour for bread, so they asked the Americans. Only they asked for corn,in British English, and ended up having (sweet)corn flour. So now we have corn bread thanks to the mixed up, and I love it.

    I'll have to go with turkey & stuffing, with pumpkin pie for dessert. :-)

    Leanne and Penny & Jeremy – I appreciate the visit. BBQ is hard to beat, although I do need to have some grilled corn with it.

    Tracy – So true about our food coming from so many different places. One of my favorites is Thai, and there’s nothing “Thai” about me!

    Definitely will send one out to Zach, and thank you for stopping by.

    I'm getting LOTS of ideas of what I'd like to cook (BBQ) when we get home in a few hours. I've had several hot dogs, hamburgers and baked beans over the weekend, already.

    Might have to go with Todd and grill some steaks tonight.

    Thank you for participating in the "Blog Tour de Troops". I do not have immediate family in the service right now, but my grandfather fought in WWII and my uncles fought in the Vietnam War. I greatly appreciate what you and the other authors are doing for our men and women in service.

    Thank you to the men and women in service for the sacrifices that you, and your families, make each and every day. Thank you for keeping America safe and the things we take for granted each day because of what you do.

  109. Thanks for all that stopped by today, and later on this evening. So far, I've sent off books to about the first half who responded. Note that there are a few that didn't leave an email address and I've tracked down those who I could, but if you forgot ... and you do want to receive a book ... please come back!

    All the best,

    Louisa

  112. Thank you so much for this event! It's been great!!
    Fav American Food?? That's tough....A big favorite that I can't get in my town anymore is Sonic Cheddarbites with a Diet Cherry Coke. They closed our Sonic last summer! (tear).. Oh well. I've discovered Arby's Mozzarella Sticks are Awesome!

    Looking forward to reading your book. The title alone piques interest!

  113. Grazie, once again for all who stopped by today! Officially, this "tour" ends at midnight. Hopefully, everyone has found new authors they will enjoy, and you took some time today to send out good thoughts to those who serve and protect our country.

    Those who haven't received their copy yet, will be getting it tomorrow. Now, off for some more writing!
