I wonder if there's some way I could send it to him and get him to autograph it for me.

Autographed Copies

Autographed copies are only available through The Red Circle Foundation and at exclusive speaking events. -Brandon

Buying him a drink doesn't just have to be alcohol.

I've just finished this -

A great read about a South African who learned to fly, joined the SAAF, went to Korea, or return he joined the army and went back to Korea as a FAC, came to the UK and joined the RAF - rising through the ranks to AVM via Hunters, Lightnings, Phantoms and many more. Thoroughly recommended.

Now, on to Operation Drumbeat - I've heard it's supposed to be good.

At Close Quarters: PT Boats in the United States Navy

All about the PT Boat operations in WWII. I just bought it this morning as an Amazon Kindle e-book, my first ever. So now I'm more or less reading two books at once!

I know that...but it seems to be the most popular choice.

And I saw that about the autographed copies.

I'm going to start reading "A Soldier's Dream: Captain Travis Patriquin and the Awakening of Iraq" by William Doyle tonight.

Looks alright. Not quite sure what to think about it since it was on the discount rack...then again....The Red Circle was on the discount rack and I loved that book.

Bought a copy of Surface at the Pole by James Calvert today at Goodwill for $2. Open it up and find out that it's signed. A book by a submarine captain, signed by a submarine captain.

Wonder how much it's worth?

Priceless. Unless you can get several thousand, better to keep it.
