Anyone who is in the Hattiesburg area tomorrow might want to go to this. The Hub City Military Order of the Purple Heart is going to be having a book signing of a book they've put together called "Combat Wounded: Our Story" starting at 11 a.m. Saturday July 23 in front of Garfield's restaurant at Turtle Creek Mall. The book is a collection of the stories of 74 men from around the Pine Belt who have received the Purple Heart. Tomorrow, the proceeds from any books sold at the book signing will go into a fund to help Aaron and Kelly with their expenses when they get back home. This was initiated by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, and we're so thankful to them for their kindness. There is going to be some news coverage of this in the paper and on TV, and Mom and Dad have been interviewed for all of that, so most of you will probably learn about it, but I thought I'd put it up here also. If you want to watch, the news segment about it will be on WDAM tonight as far as we know, so tune in. Mom and Dad are going to be at the book signing because the order wants to take some photos with them, so if you've got time, go out and say hello. Or buy a book. I think we can confidently say that it's going to a good cause. Here's a link to a story the Hattiesburg American did about it:
