1000 Letters Home WWII
by Michael Madden 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Teresa Irish spoke at the Flint Public Library on her book A 1000 Letters Home. If you have heard her presentation you know what a wonderful experience it is for the audience. We had three WWII veterans in our audience as well as several people who have heard Teresa's presentation at other libraries. It was wonderful event; I have never had a program end with the audience deciding to sing God Bless America! It was great program for those who served in the war, their children or those who many not even realize the sacrifices that were made during WWII.
