The year 1941 had been a boring year for sixteen-year-old Joseph Stillwater, a Mescalero Apache living on a New Mexico Indian reservation. That was until that December when he heard President Roosevelt's speech to Congress after the Pearl Harbor bombing. Instantly, he and his cousin, John Runninghorse, knew what they wanted to do. They wanted to fight the enemies of America. So, they defied their parents, ran away, lied about their ages, and joined the Army. Neither teen had ever been off the reservation, yet soon they were in Alabama doing basic training. From there they were sent to Tidworth, England, for specialty training where they were joined by several other Native American soldiers. Their expertise in fighting, tracking, and hunting was so above other American soldiers, it soon had them being reassigned to Scotland where they were to train with elite British Commando soldiers. With the war in Europe intensifying, they were released from that training and sent to France where their mission was to form a unit that could fight and harass the Germans from the shadows while collecting intelligence. They were so successful, the Germans gave them a nickname Geistkriegers, the Spirit Warriors, because they were never seen before or after their deadly attacks, but only heard when they gave an Indian war cry from the depths of the forests.While in France, Joseph found love when he met a French girl, Maria, but experienced heartbreak when she was taken by the Germans. That heartbreak turned into anger and hatred, and turned Joseph into a true Apache warrior on a blood hunt for all Germans. When the war ended, Joseph took those pent-up emotions home with him where his grandfather, his tribe's shaman, saw the demons within his grandson. He suggested Joseph to experience a ritual spirit walk to his ancestors to cleanse him of his demons. Joseph consented, but could a "visit" to his ancestors cleanse him of the pain he had felt in losing Maria?

This work has been done to help in the appreciation of the new wave toward labeling or mental-health diagnosis. If you have gone to the provider for headaches but came away with a mental-health diagnosis, or even having experienced anxiety from the loss of an employment opportunity, only to discover you are bipolar? This is the book for you.This is written with a half of an edge of humor with very serious undertones. The question in this book is, why? Why over diagnosis? Why the need for consistent and continuous medication? Is it due to pharmaceutical persuasion from overzealous marketing? What? I will examine some and more of these issues in this small piece that speaks to a very real importance.

La razón y la intención por la cual hice este libro fue recoger todos mis "escritos" repartidos en los festivales colombianos, un pedido de algunos de mis paisanos; también, recordar aquellos refranes de los abuelos, frases de canciones, pero lo más importante, no olvidar nuestra cultura.Año tras año, desde que llegué a Los Ángeles con mi esposo, hijos e hijas, fui mostrando mi añoranza por Colombia, y todos sus "achaques" que le ha quejaban. Me sentía impotente al no poder siquiera, "rezongar" cuando desprestigiaban mi patria. Es por esto que, en un inglés con barreras muy altas, grité: I am Proud to be Colombian!Cada "escrito" es una lágrima derramada con mucha nostalgia, que se ha vuelto un huevo, ¡Sí!, un huevo de Cóndor, que necesita, incubación, ser leído, para que, ya convertido en un pichón, comience a volar despacio hasta alcanzar la altura de sus ancestros.

A warm, sunny, beautiful Sunday, July 2, 2017, morning departure from our home and loving dog, Cody, and the scenic hills of southwestern Pennsylvania in Somerset County placed us on a collision course with the imminent sixty-second farewell on Reception Day, July 3, 2017, at West Point for our Class of 2021 son-Nate. The Adventures of Cadet Cody story comes to life in the summer weeks of July and August 2017 during the exchange of letters to our soon-to-be Plebe. Heartfelt and separated by time and distance, we revert to the antiquated pastime of writing letters, pen and paper in hand. Our imagination, Cody''s antics, our family experiences, and activities come to life in a cartoon, storylike fashion.
