Veterans Voices deserves a TEN STAR status and hand salute for the recognition and honor it gives to the Soldiers of the past, present and future! Perhaps the stories of courage will give America hope and understanding of what our Veterans carry with them day in and day out. This book has a proud place in my military library.~ Jenny La Sala
The author donated a copy to the barber shop he gets his haircut at, where I work. We have a very large older clientele. Many of them are vets. I get the best feedback. Some of the clients stay after their haircuts to read more. They can't put it down! We even had clients write down the name so they can purchase their own. Great job Robert, and let me add he is one of the most humble, and kindest clients we have. Always a pleasure! Def purchase this book! I also have brought one for my own copy 👍🏼👌🏽
Too long have our veterans kept silent about their experiences in service to our country. Veterans Voices seeks to give veterans a venue to share their stories. It is compelling and inspiring to say the least. Our heroes deserve to be heard. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Thank you to Messrs. Miller and Wakeford and all who spent long hours in dedication to this project.
I give this edition a low rating for how inaccurately they wrote my story. I was sent a “fact check” draft in which I identified four errors; one of the authors verified that this “fact check” draft with my notes for corrections was sent to National Geographic. However, the National Geographic editorial staff did not make a single correction noted by me. One of the errors is significant - it concerns the countermine mission: the book has me saying we did the mission, but I told them we only trained to do the mission. Besides the uncorrected errors, National Geographic added quotation marks to their prose on the draft they sent me to fact check after I returned it to them, which made their words appear to be mine. I have been informed that should there be a second printing of the book they will correct it. Unfortunately, National Geographic published this book with mistakes; it is now out there as history, and I appear to be lying about my record, which, of course, I did not. I cannot attest to the accuracy of the rest of the book.
