Last-minute holiday gift guide

Visible to anyone in the world

For those looking for a last-minute present and wish not to waste money, let me suggest two exciting books written by Robert Curtis. Robert is a Vet and a Marine.

There are: * Surprised at Being Alive: An Accidental Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam and Beyond

                  * The Typhon truce, 1970

When you open the books and begin reading, you won't be able to stop. They are more captivating and fascinating than any bestseller thrillers because those stories are true. Robert is a very courageous and brilliant Marine.

Allow me to copy and paste the first paragraph of Surprised at Being Alive: An Accidental Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam and Beyond:

'Sometimes you do everything right, but it just isn’t your day. A part fails and your helicopter comes apart in flight, or, another aircraft runs into you and the pieces of both fall to the ground below, or the enemy gunner pulls the trigger at just the right moment and his rounds find your aircraft in exactly the right spot to take it out of the sky. Whichever way it happens, it wasn’t your day.'

Enjoy and Happy Holiday
