The Reunion by Dan Walsh
A great book and a nice tribute to those who have fought for our country. There are people that often we pass right by in our daily life - they have unassuming ways about them and maybe are doing menial jobs - yet at one time these people were heroes. Aaron Miller was a Congressional Metal of Honor recipient and yet now he lives in a humble shed and is the maintenance person at a trailer park. He had suffered post traumatic stress syndrome after returning from the Vietnam War. Very little was done to help our service men at that time. He drank, did drugs, lots his family and ended up living on the streets. Eventually he cleaned himself up but not before he had lost everything that matter to him - his kids and his wife. Now years later he is clean and sober. He has found Christ (and that made all the difference in his life - it saved him) and attends church regularly. Then something unexpected happens - his buddies from the war try to find him. It leads to a reunion with lots of surprises.
The author writes with a real depth of emotion. I had tears by the end - thankfully they were happy tears as this book has a wonderfully happy ending. Very good book and I highly recommend reading it.
