The Cedar Springs Public Library just had her on Oct. 22 and had a crowd of 130!! It was SO WONDERFUL!!! If people only knew how great she is, they would flock to your program. It's life-changing and one of the very BEST programs we have ever had!
<br />Ask your American Legion to get involved. We had ours do the Pledge of Allegiance and lead us in the National Anthem before starting the program. Wonderful!!

<br />> A Thousand Letters Home -- Author Teresa
Irish
Presents "The Journey of the Letters"
<br />>
<br />> Teresa
Irish
presents the entertaining, inspirational and life-affirming story of
The
Journey of the Letters. After the 2006 death of her father, Bud,
recipient
of the Silver Star, Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars, Teresa found
the
1,000 letters he wrote home from WWII and 250
<br />>
corresponding
photographs. Visited only by him over the course of six decades,
the
letters were postmarked from Nov 1942 to Dec 1945. The fragile,
yellowed
pages were written to Bud's parents, and to the
<br />> sweetheart who
would
later become his wife. These treasures are the basis for the book
"A
Thousand Letters Home".
<br />> From lonesome, moonlit nights
listening
to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany,
to
correspondence with the heartbroken mothers whose sons died by his
side,
this is a historic story of life & loss, hope &
perseverance,
unwavering faith & true love.
<br />>
<br />> The program is
a
heartfelt journey back in time, a tribute to our
<br />> country's
history,
freedoms and family values, and a call to citizenship in today's
world.
Irish's storytelling, accompanied by 1940s photographs and music,
has
audiences laughing, crying, and reminiscing. This program reaches
across
generations with a little something for everyone.
