Military life through the eyes of children

A book that every current and former military person will want to sit down and read to the children in their lives. This book will help children understand the military life, training, and frequent moving. They will learn about Patriotism, Family History, Military Equipment, Geography, History and English. Each page has a question for adults to answer for the children. It is written in a simple manner so that everyone can learn from it. Children at Wineteer Elementary School in Wichita, Kansas did many of the illustrations. Some of their parents were in the military. Some were not. Your children will learn more about you, your family, and Patriotism by reading this book and doing the exercises in the back of the book. 

Author Noonie Fortin is a retired Army Reserve First Sergeant who found many families didn’t discuss their military background with their children. Now they can do just that in a simple manner. Author of Memories of Maggie, Potpourri of War, and The Sarge’s Thoughts, she continues to write and speak about women who have served their country.

“Patriotism as seen through eyes of these children gives us the clearest, most concise view of ourselves as a nation. Kids are this country’s future!”.
COL. Earl P. Hopper, Sr. USA (Ret)

“Through the eyes of these children we see our military – and our country – anew. As a nation we are truly blessed to have the next generation be as insightful as these young people are.”
Patricia B. Hopper, Chairman, Task Force Omega, Inc.
