A Nice Way to Honor a Vet on Veteran’s Day

This coming Monday is Veteran’s Day. Last week, my pastor asked for my help with a The Reunion - Dan Walshproject he wanted to do to honor our veterans this Sunday. In the process, I found out that my novel, The Reunion, was on sale at Christianbook.com for only $2.99 (paperback version).


One of the primary reasons I wrote this novel was to honor our veterans, especially those who served in the Vietnam era. I’ve received many emails and book reviews from veterans who served in WW2, Korea and all through the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan (and from their family members), saying how much this story touched their hearts.


It gave me an idea…to suggest that you consider buying a gift copy of The Reunion for a military vet you know and get it to them, in honor of Veteran’s Day. At $2.99, how can you lose? I’m certainly not doing this for the money (at that price, I’d make only pennies per copy). But this novel has been my highest-rated novel of the 9 I’ve written so far (136 5-Star reviews on Amazon).

Reading the feedback from Veterans and their family members has been one of the most satisfying things I’ve experienced as an author. Here are a few excerpts from these Amazon reviews:


Every Vietnam Veteran should read this book! As one who served in Vietnam, I can only say this is a must read book. It captures how the country felt about the returning veterans and some of their thoughts. There are still others who never made it back, but are still alive in the states today.” — Wildrover 99 (Amazon review)


My dad is a Vietnam veteran and my hero. He was a Lieutenant in the Army and served in Vietnam for sixteen months in 1967 and 1968. He was wounded in combat a couple of times, but went right back into battle each time…I knew from reading Dan’s previous books that he would perfectly touch the emotions of veterans and their families in this book and he certainly did…I loved this story and just as I expected, it brought me to tears. It was everything I hoped it would be: touching, sentimental, romantic and VERY patriotic. It focuses on the importance of love, family and forgiveness.” — C. Kendall, Vine Voice (Amazon review)


This book touched my heart. I served in Vietnam from February 1967 until February 1968 as a Combat Engineer. I am very grateful that the majority of my fellow citizens now are grateful for us Vietnam veterans. I especially thank authors like Mr. Dan Walsh for writing good positive books about us veterans. While wiping away tears after reading this book I say a heart felt thank you to Mr. Walsh!”  – Jerry Prigmore (Amazon review)


Be sure you have tissues on hand when you read the final scenes. I don’t normally get too personal in my reviews, but my husband is a Vietnam vet. Reading about Aaron’s (and the other men’s) struggles brought me to tears more than once. In addition to being a gripping novel, The Reunion is a tribute to Vietnam veterans, all of whom bore the brunt of our nation’s dislike of an unpopular war at that dark time in our history. I recommend The Reunion wholeheartedly.” — A. A. Shorey, Oregon (Amazon review)


I am thrilled that Dan Walsh has used the Vietnam War as the focus of this story. Having a grandfather who served in WWI, a father that served in WWII, and a brother-in-law who served in Vietnam, I am aware of the way our veterans have been treated. This book allows us to celebrate the men and women who served in Vietnam War. We can honor them, as we do our older veterans, with pride. Thank you Dan Walsh for another heart-tugging look at human emotion. I am not one who cries often, but this book filled my heart and brought tears to my eyes several times. This award winning author has served up another winner.” — Marilyn in Wisconsin (Amazon review)
