Book Description
"MY NAVY CROSS --Something I'm Not Proud Of" ! is"FOUR-BOOKS IN ONE"! First book: The evolution of this opus came about as a result of author's brother Duane's invitation to WWI fly-ins. WWI Sopwith Camel with cartoon character Snoopy the dog as pilot shooting at the fleeing Red Baron in his tri-wing red Fokker. Many believe that no enemy ever attacked the US in the war! Not true! (German submarines sank 11 US ships on East Coast in one day.) Author's personal situation did not allow him to compose a book. (Having cancer many times, building our own home.) Then assistance evolved: two automobiles, a new computer, thousands of dollars, imput from other interested parties. After author's presentation at Kansas State University's CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM, comments included: "You must write the book, otherwise an important part of history will be lost forever". Second book: The amount of research involved and those that were willing to go against the policy to copy needed information. Being threatened to be arrested, then having hundreds of classified dockets declassified and copied! Authors such as OVERTHE FRONT WWI author Richard T. Whistler states that he had never seen information that we acquired! Shocking is the interference from beyond! Comfort came from reading about Winston Churchill's statement: "I sometimes have a feeling -- in fact, I have it very strongly -- a feeling of interference. I want to stress it. I have a feeling sometimes that some guiding hand has interfered." Also is the book FLIGHT OF THE FORGOTTEN by airline pilot Mark A. Vance as he tells of his deceased uncle's appearance & conversations. Other WWI authors and relatives verifying my "visions" concerning information never disclosed to others! My mother appears in one vision and states that the book is a "D..." and I respond with many guesses .. Division, Deception, Discussion, with a "NO" to all! Then she appears in a Quaker dress and shoes! "But Mom" I repiy, "you were never a Quaker!" "Look up the term Quaker" she responds. So I check the dictionary. I find it is a term of DERISION! "Yes it is a DERISION!" Then I pry the dictionary out of my wife's tight grip and startled condition and find that a DERISION includes a term of ridicule and/or scorn, even a lawsuit that was later dropped. Third Book: The twelve escapes from death with many declassified documents to support such! Emphasis on the unprepared condition of the USA for war, the hesitation of shipments of troops with the Pandemic Flu claiming 200 of 1,000 -- should the US not ship troops? Frustration with no American war planes! ZIMMERMAN LETTER & Mexico's reclaiming territory lost to the US. THE STORY IS WRITTEN AS IF AUTHOR'S FATHER IS TELLING THE STORY ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES TO INCLUDE WHY HE WAS NOT PROUD OF BEING AWARDED THE NAVY CROSS! In another incident -- can you imagine what it was like being shot at in the North Sea for almost four hours, others around you being killed, being blasted "50 feet out of the water" then rescued by two British officers who swam out about 1,000 meters, and with one on each side of a boat cushion, pushed Coash to the shore, dragged him across enemy fire into a trench for days and then on to a hospital as he could not walk! Other experiences are detailed and supported with documentation and many photos -- many pictures taken by Coash himself. Coash had stood up during one flight and as he sat back down there were bullet holes in the seat. Fourth Book: Life as a disabled veteran (verified by employers that fired Coash for not performing) and two-month stays in Veteran's hospitals while the community "passed the hat" to feed his family. Then the encounter in the Coash Garage with the "Enemy in the Coash Garage" -- "But I killed you in the war!" As a trained war photographer Coash took many of the pictures that are in the Opus.

Book Description
Being a man is not about what you are, but about who you are. It is about how you chose to live your life. There is a huge difference between being a male and being a man. In this humorous and slightly irreverent book, Derrick Van Orden builds on his 26 years as a Navy SEAL, sailor, father and grandfather to guide the next generation along the path to manhood. Intertwining stories from his extensive career as a frogman, with contributions from subject matter experts ranging from highly decorated fellow Navy SEALs to the Academy Award winning actor Jon Voight, Derrick explains in simple terms how to do the things men across the world used to know how to do - the forgotten art of Manhood: Change a tire; Sight in a gun; Tie a tie; Cook a bat to eat; Throw a punch; Drive like a SEAL; And many more need-to-know man skills.

Book Description
Operation Navy Cross is a story woven by the intertwined threads of religion, patriotism, romance, deceit, intrigue, and murder that produce a whole cloth of the reality of one man's life. Admiral Stuart Parker Francis, as told to his granddaughter, depicts how his life was altered by being a member of an ongoing covert force of United States Naval Intelligence. A necessary force created by the Republic, to defend itself against the enemy that lurks within. The lust for power, coupled with the mandatory arrogance devised by men of all persuasions, explains for the reader, juxtapositions that influenced the Admiral's life and that can influence our own. Thereby, giving others cause to judge us ~ justly or unjustly.
