Reader Reviews for "Mommy, What Is A POW/MIA? (Military Category)"

Reviewed by John Dixon, Jr	7/24/2008
I am the Author of this book. This book was written because I feel the children and generation of today are having history stolen from them. The history book writers as well as many politicians are trying to sweep the POW/MIA issues under the rug and it is not fair to the thousands of men and women that have died to keep this country free. The politicians have even changed the POW/MIA name to be "missing-captured". This is a slap in the face to the warriors that press forward on a daily basis so you and I can do the things we do. "Mommy, What Is A POW/MIA?" is written about a little girl named Savannah who overhears her Mom talking to her Dad about the Mom's brother, Uncle Bobby. After many questions and a heartfelt talk, Savannah learns what it means to be a POW/MIA and how we are allowed to have our freedoms because of the selfless acts of these heroes. The book also has a 6 page coloring section, and the full color illustrations show some of the United States most meaningfull monuments. The last section in the book is full of websites to help the civilians and veterans alike find information on almost any subject that deals with veterans. I hope you enjoy this little story about Savannah and maybe you will learn some information that you did not know along her journey. Be on the lookout for more of Savannah's journey in future installments. Thank You for your interest in my book! John T. Dixon, Jr.
