Inspirational - A Great Book to Read and Pass On to Others,
By Morrey Wasserman (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You're A Worthwhile Person in More Ways Than A Million! (Hardcover)
This book highlights what too often gets overlooked in society: the work that the 'little guy' does. It reminds you to give credit to people that don't receive recognition, that may be on the lower rungs. These people form the fabric of our society and our lives would be much worse, if not completely unmanageable, without their help. In sum, treat everyone with respect.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. Buy it for yourself or as a gift - you won't regret it!

This review is from: You're A Worthwhile Person in More Ways Than A Million (Paperback)
Like her father and grandfather before her, marine
Heather Campion fears little. She has seen much already in her 30 years, having survived active combat in the Persian Gulf; however, as she always reminds herself, she did not experience the horrors that her father did in Vietnam or that which her grandfather did in World War II. Wherever she defends the American flag, she does so especially in their honor. While they are proud of her fierce commitment, her father in particular had advised her against joining what has long been known as most "dynamic" force in the American nine years old, her father played an even more active role in his only child's life. Heather honestly does not remember wanting to be anything but a marine. Whether she's in the trenches, underwater, or high in the skies, Heather keeps the marine corps' motto at the forefront of her mind: "honor, courage, and commitment." She knows that she must, like all marines, function as a member of a team so that they can achieve success together. When she's not in combat or training new recruits, she serves in the combat service support (CSS), a critical division of the marine corps, as those in CSS can be mobilized at any moment. Heather easily spends 12-hour days with CSS, but she always takes time to work out, at an average of two hours a day, to keep her tall, muscular frame in shape. She likes her job and wants to stay fit for it--she never knows when she may be called into combat to defend American lives, land, and liberty. Today she's at an undisclosed location, serving in the military occupational specialty designations for CSS, where she supervises construction and utilities. As a combat engineer, she ensures that bases, camps, and installations have what they need to thoroughly achieve their missions. This valor, resilience, and loyalty is precisely what makes Heather and all the other marines worthwhile persons in more ways than a million!

I gave several copies of this book to a local teen group home. The kids really found it helpful and inspirational. One said it made her feel positive about things. Easy to pick up and start reading.
