About the author
Rebekah A. Morris
120 books271 followersRebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.

This was a great story, and I'm so glad I managed to fit it in before the 4th of July was over! Freedom has never been free, and we owe a deep debt of respect and gratitude to all those who have fought for our country through the years, regardless of our stance on individual wars.
Crusty Mr. Moreland was a well-drawn and sympathetic character despite his prickly attitude, and I loved the way Randy befriended him. I also liked the way Sergeant Sinclair went out of his way to help, even when his official duties didn't call for it.
But the best part of the story was the ending--so poignant and such a true message. The scene on the platform deserves at least an extra half star! Such a great way to end a day of celebration and remembrance.

Okaay....this was my favorite, by far. (Out of all these monthly short stories, that is).
What a treat, this was an amazing, light, yet deeply moving Fourth of July story. I loved the writing, it's message, the characters, everything.
It's not often books, especially short stories, bring tears to my eyes and make shivers go up and down my spine.....but that ending. Awww. Wow. You just have to read it.
Definitely recommended (for all ages, I'd say :)

This is a story that shows a not often outlook on a veteran and his life after war, and I really love how Morris showed a long-needed and horribly needed welcome home in this short story.

4.5 stars & 5/10 hearts. I was very much looking forwards to this story and I was not disappointed. It was pretty funny, and it taught a really important lesson. I really enjoyed the characters, too. Probably my favourite Story of the Month, at least so far!
A Favourite Quote: “‘[Y]ou men … fought in the war no one wants to remember. You went when others were burning their draft cards and protesting. Even if you didn’t want to go, you did. That is worth remembering and honoring. Thank you.’”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “…a timid knock sounded on the front door.
“‘That sergeant said he’d send someone to fix the window today,’ Mr. Moreland muttered, ‘but if the man knocks like that, I don’t know if I’d trust him to put a window in.’”

Honor All Men is by Rebekah A. Morris.
A fun, cute short-story for July. I found it to be a little preachy, but not overly so that I couldn't enjoy it. I liked the police officer character the best.
I would recommend if you are looking for a sweet, quick read! 3 stars out of 5.
