| About the Book
The Warriors’ Rest Hotel is a place of reprieve
for those who have seen the varied faces of war.
Although these characters are fictional, you know them all.
And if you ever wore a military uniform, you served with
them.
The Old Man AKA The Kid—He
beat the odds in World War II and spent the next two decades flying
bombers and preventing another World War.
The Marine—He
hated war, but the love of the Corps sustained him through three of
them.
The Admiral—He
thrived on flying a fighter in his first war.
Even the frustrations of his next two wars couldn’t get in
the way of the exhilaration of battle.
The Gentleman—He
spent the Korean War on an island off the coast of North Korea.
He spent his days in a closed room listening to a distant war
as it played out in his earphones.
Then at night he had sat in a bunker as enemy bombs and
artillery rounds brought the war to him.
Roy—He
was all Army and never more at home than on the narrow roads of the
Vietnamese highlands—nothing was ever the same for him after
Vietnam.
Rose—She
never left American soil, but the thousands of soldiers that she
helped send to Vietnam showed her the changing face of the war.
The Lady—She
never wore a uniform, but she carried the pain of war.
