The Night VJ Got Saved is a true story based on the life of the author's son, Vincent Green, a.k.a. VJ, who, one night after a church service, gave his heart to Jesus. There are experiences in life you'll never forget, and those of you that have made the choice to accept Jesus's love know what I mean. There's nothing like feeling the presence of the Lord. In his presence is a joy and a peace that surpasses all understanding. It's one of those experiences you have to experience for yourself. I pray that as parents and children read The Night VJ Got Saved, it reminds you of your personal experience when you gave your heart to Jesus and to create a desire for him in those who don't know Jesus as their personal savior!

In observance of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, the Air Force History and Museums Program sponsored a symposium on the War in the Pacific held at the Bethesda, MD, Naval Officers' Club. The gathering offered a unique opportunity for its guest panelists -- participants in that war or historians of it -- to reflect on a variety of subjects: Japanese objectives; American military preparedness and grand strategy; the interaction between U.S. Army, Air, and Navy leaders; combined operations; political and diplomatic intrigue; the challenges of ground, air, and sea warfare within differing Pacific theaters; military science and technology; the essential role of intelligence; the proposed Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands; and the use of the atomic bombs. For the United States, World War II began and ended in the Pacific, from Japan's aerial attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, to its surrender in Tokyo Bay, on September 2, 1945. For all but 5 months of those years, Americans and their Allies were compelled to hold the line in Asia, doggedly opposing imperialist Japan while a "Europe First" policy against Nazi Germany and fascist Italy prevailed in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The United States operated over huge distances, from China, Burma, and India, to countless Pacific islands. Sixty-five photographs are included.

A nightmare villain stalks the heroes of New Bedlam. The vigilante heroes of New Bedlam face their more dire challenge yet. When a–Burke! What are you do– Hey there, Burke Hale taking over again. Let me tell you, dropping a flaming dude through my roof was not subtle. I mean, yeah, it got my attention. Not to mention burning down the former motel-converted-to-crummy-apartments place where I lived. Not cool. Sure, lots of people think I should be dead. A few have made semi-serious attempts to make that happen. But this guy… He’s got issues. And the more the vigilante heroes and I figure out about this master villain, the more issues he has. The biggest issue being, he seems more than capable of destroying not just me, but the entire city. But first, he wants me to suffer. He wants all of us to suffer. He’s making the city tear itself apart. Somehow he’s made everyone lose their minds. People have gone crazy, turning on each other like animals. The vigilante family are counting on me to solve the mystery of this villain’s grudge against me. The trouble is, I have no idea who this dude is. It’s not like I keep a master list of people I’ve ticked off. I mean, that would be a big list. Like famous horror writer novel pages of thickness big. The vigilante heroes and I (and my super awesome ninja ferret, Binky) have to figure out who this guy is. But if we can’t, we might have to give him what he wants. My head on a platter. Sure would be nice to avoid that. Can we save the city and my precious neck, too? The next action-packed, twisting and turning adventure in the Bedlam’s Heroes series.

In the late 1990s, NATO led the Kosovo Force (KFOR), charged with stabilizing Kosovo and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia after genocide and other atrocities were carried out in the Balkan region. Operation Kinetic is not only a history of the origins and operations of the Kosovo Force but also a history of the vital operations conducted by the Canadian Army units and their allies assigned to KFOR during the crucial early days and months after entry into the province in 1999 and through 2000. Operating alongside American, British, French, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish forces, these surveillance and response units were instrumental in preventing violence in numerous areas before it could escalate and draw in the Serbian Army, which could have led to further genocide or war in the region. Sean M. Maloney, a Canadian military historian with extensive field experience in the Balkans, draws on numerous interviews and firsthand accounts of an operation that would later serve as a model in preparing for similar efforts in Afghanistan and provide a blueprint for stabilizing operations around the world.
