Liberal Father, Marine Son
Posted by Peter W. Schramm
This is a lovely story. I don’t know anything about the writer. He is a novelist, by his own understanding a volvo-driving liberal disengaged from real life and America. His son joined the Marine Corps. First he was shocked and then he learned from his son (and the Corps) what America was about. You will not regret reading it. I’ll be back on late Friday. Happy Thanksgiving.

I am pleased to see that the amazon.com ranking of their book, Keeping Faith: A Father-Son Story About Love and the United States Marine Corps, is 463, well above Al and Tipper Gore’s 1,978 and 5,500 for their two recent books.
