    2013 Salute to Author Veterans #RLFblog #VeteransDay

    Happy Veteran’s Day 
    Kayelle Allen here. Romance Lives Forever is dedicated to new
    authors and new books. As such, I rarely step in as a blogger — I prefer to interview
    guests and feature others. My own blog, Unstoppable
    Heroes
    , is where I do my own “bragging” about new books and events.
    But today on RLF, I want to honor some special people: veterans.
    The first Veteran’s Day was called “Armistice Day”
    and was proclaimed by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson on November 11, 1919. In proclaiming
    the holiday, he said, “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will
    be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service
    and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has
    freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy
    with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” Unlike Memorial Day,
    which celebrates those who died in service, Veterans Day celebrates the service
    itself. Wikipedia

    Today, I’m honoring fellow veterans who are authors. This is
    by no means an exhaustive list. These folks are proud to stand and be counted. Please
    visit their sites, and get to know them and their books. I believe the highest honor
    one can pay an author is to buy his or her book.
    Authors are listed in alphabetical order by first name. This
    list shows their brand (type of writing), name, branch of service, and website.

    One unusual Veterans group that is special to me is RomVets. They are all women who served in the armed
    forces and who write Romance. I am proud to be a member. Click the link to visit
    the website and learn more about this organization and its members.
    Invitation — if you are an author, and a veteran, let us know. We’d be honored to include you in our annual post.
