Vets Club Enjoyable Reads...

 ENJOYABLE READS WHETHER YOU ARE MILITARY OR NOT.....

A new book by Admiral William McRaven is entitled SEA STORIES, and it will captivate you throughout as he details the capture of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin laden. It is currently on the best sellers list. Admiral McRaven is now retired.




  THE SANDAL was written by our very own Bob Burfitt. Bob, who is a member of the Strawberry Ridge Veterans Club, is retired and has lived in the Ridge with his wife, Judy, for many years.  Retirement is not a word that is in Bob's vocabulary though.  He's been very active in so many organizations here at the Ridge and is currently the Editor of our monthly Strawberry Toppings. Thank you, Bob, for all your contributions to the Ridge.


MAKE YOUR BED by William H. McRaven is another good read.  Admiral McRaven was a Navy SEAL and was Commander of USSOCOM at MacDill AFB prior to his retirement in 2014.  He is now the Chancellor at University of Texas where he gave the commencement speech in 2014.  You can listen to the speech at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxBQLFLei70.




THE DISABLED VETERAN'S STORY by Miguel Reece, USAF, MSC Retired is another book you should read. You won't be able to put it down.



All of the books are available at Amazon, and THE SANDAL is also available at the Strawberry Ridge Lending Library.
