“Hi Glenna - finally had a chance to sit down and write a little review of your special book. I have attached the photo of my niece holding one of the books that I sent to her for her 4th birthday which was this past Saturday! We also sent a copy to Mark's nephews and his sister-in-law Lilian sent us a very kind thank you note (via text message) saying that both Connor (14) and Colton (7) really enjoyed reading the real-life-stories of our American Veterans.

Some Very Kind Words from Penny Rader on The Kind Kids Organization and Our Efforts.
“Glenna Orr's children's books are inspirational and informatively written, with gorgeous illustrations that keep even the youngest children mesmerized. Children, as well as adults, love the historical and patriotic stories that are based on the memories of special Americans, our Armed Services Veterans!

AFRH Book Club on “When Books Went To War” Chapters 1-6
Dear Fellow Book Club Members,
While reading "When Books Went To War," written by Molly Guptill Manning, I was reminded of some quotes that I would share with students of all ages throughout my years as a a career public school teacher. To name just a few, "Books Can Take You To Places You Never Believed Possible," and "The Written Word Is A Powerful Tool." I am so very glad that we are reading this particular book together. It is inspirational, optimistic, and compelling all at the same time! I look forward to hearing from you and learning your thoughts on this impeccably researched book!

REACHING OUT to Glenda Cheeks on 'Remembering With The Heart...'
"Remembering With the Heart, Stories by America’s Finest written by Glenna Orr an author of high ethical standards who cares deeply about America’s history and those who serve and have served our Country. Each character in this book teaches us history, sacrifice, and a love for serving as they share a little about their lives serving our country. This book is unique and the best of its kind. I loved each character as they told their stories.
Glenna, I am not much of a writer. Honored that you asked. Stay safe and I appreciate you as you encourage others in our journey through life." - Glenda Cheeks, City President, United Community Bank, Hayesville, NC.
