  • Hello from Central IL!

    Hey all! Just bought myself an early Christmas present - Going Home - while fam was at B&N the other night! Am excited to get into it as I am retired Army Guard, combat vet, and am very concerned with the direction society is headed. Formerly working in the social service field I am now working for a major manufacturer in the area. Married 20+yrs, 3 kids and adopting another on Tues! GOD is good!! I am looking forward to the camaraderie and opportunities to learn here. And a big Thank You to angryamerican for speaking with "our" voice!

    Welcome to the board, Maj. Quite a few of us have been with AA since he first started writing Going Home. Once you get into book one you will get your eyes opened a ittle bit more. Our board is smaler than most, but I would put the quaity of our board against any of the others. Look around and check out all the different sections. We have alot of knowledge and experience represented here and our main goal is to help each other to get better prepared. Should you have any questions please feel free to ask.

    Congratulations on the adoption. My grandparents adopted me and I think God has a special place in Heaven for those who open up their hearts and homes to another child.

    I hope you enjoy yourself here. Don't forget, we have a chatroom too. Stop in for a visit.

    If we cannot define a simple word like greatness, how can we ever hope to use it as a measuring stick to know when we have risen beyond average?

                    Welcome and thank you for your service. You'll find quite a few prior service members here. And remember, no questions are stupid questions. There is a lot of knowledge stored in the noggins of the members here....you just may need to swing your hammer a little harder to release it from some of the members. Congrats on the new kiddo...what a wonderful family you must have.

                            I stumbled across Escaping Home at B&N on a new "fiction" rack. Subject matter and seeing it as a series hooked me! The writing style has been very enjoyable in addition, soooo long story short - books #2 & #3 will be post- (pre-???) Christmas purchases, definitely!!!
