U.S. Airman Launches New Memoir

"An Airman's Journey" relates the heartwarming account of 25 years' service in the U.S. Air Force, spanning post World War II years to Vietnam. Told through personal pictures and prose, this all-encompassing memoir presents the remarkable story of Robert M. Fletcher, Sr., Major USAF (ret.).

According to the author, "This book was written for my sons and their families. I feel it may be of interest to many veterans of the time periods involved. As of this writing, I am 84 years old. I'm healthy and enjoying life. I have been very fortunate. I have two successful sons with great families. I am now the oldest in my family of 13 brothers and sisters as there are only four of us left. After retiring from the Air Force, I taught at Fort Walton High School (Florida) for 23 years. I taught mostly physics, also, math, earth science, physical science, and meteorology."

For a look back at "the good old days" and at "The Greatest Generation" - a term coined by Tom Brokaw to describe those who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II - read "Always A New Adventure."

Says Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency, "As the CEO and owner of a mid-sized publishing company, when my father said, 'Son, I've written my memoirs,' I shuddered, knowing what was next. At the same time, I knew I had to deliver before his 85th birthday, so the race was on. It's been an incredibly fun project and quite a family connector. I am pleased beyond belief at how this memoir looks and feels. His is truly 'a life well lived.' It has been my sincere personal pleasure to publish Always a New Adventure. And now, I have to go create his business cards and press release and set up some book signings because he wants to get out there and sell it. Go Dad, go!"
