The interment of America's Unknown from the Great War took place on November 11, 1921, the second anniversary of the armistice and one year after the British and French had buried their own Unknown Soldier. My name is Philip Bigler. I was the historian at Arlington National Cemetery from 1983-1985 and worked on the burial of the Vietnam Unknown Serviceman in 1984. I returned to teaching in 1985 and the following year published In Honored Glory: Arlington National Cemetery, the Final Post. That book is still in print having gone through four editions and 23 printings. I have now written ten books on history and education. My most recent book is entitled Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: A Century of Honor, 1921-2021 and is available in both soft and hard cover editions. less

Following a family tragedy, 18-year-old Gabe LoScuda finds himself thrust into the role of caregiver for his ailing grandfather. Between the shopping trips and the doctor visits with Grandpa, Gabe and his friend John try to salvage their senior year, meet girls, and make the varsity baseball team. It doesn’t take long for Gabe to realize that going to school and looking after a grandfather with Alzheimer’s is more work than he ever imagined. And when long-lost Uncle Nick appears on the scene, Gabe soon finds that living with Nick and Grandpa is like babysitting two grown men. Aside from John, the only person who truly understands Gabe is Sofia, a punk-rocking rebel he meets at the veteran’s hospital. When these three unlikely friends are faced with a serious dilemma, will they do what it takes to save Grandpa? If there’s a chance of preserving the final shreds of Grandpa’s dignity, Gabe may have to make the most gut-wrenching decision of his life—and the... less

Hi All,
I'm pleased to be a new member of this community. So man... moreHi All,
I'm pleased to be a new member of this community. So many great resources on this site, including all of you member writers with a whole lot of knowledge and experience under your belts. As for me, I'm a debut young adult novelist. My book, No Sad Songs, was just released by Fish Out of Water Books in late February and I've been blown away so far by the reviews and the feedback I've been receiving ever since. It's about a high school senior whose parents are ripped from him in a tragic accident and he's immediately thrust into the role of caregiver for his ailing grandfather, a WWII Vet in the latter stages of Alzheimer's. I know, it sounds kind of heart-wrenching, but it's also a story intended to remind people about the importance of friendship, laughter, and the ability to remember our loved ones in their best moments instead of their worst. I hope you'll pick up a copy and enjoy it. Maybe tell all your friends and whatnot. ; )
On a personal note, I'm a veteran middle school teacher from the Greensbor... less
