Blue Seas, Red Stars: Soviet Military Medals To U.S. Sea Service Recipients In WWII

[Dave]

For all:

I thought I'd announce that my book on WW2 Soviet medals to the US Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine is finally complete and off to the publishers. The book includes images of 100 of the 217 awarded medals, plus many documents, US medals, photos of recipients, and more. I personally made 112 visits, driving 24,000 miles in 40 states, meeting with surviving veterans and families to obtain nearly all of these images. While I can't say much more about the book (as it is still subject to editorial changes) it should be out and available sometime in 2015. I'll make announcements later as things progress.

Thanks for reading and I sincerely hope you'll enjoy the book when it comes out.
