Promises Kept: How One Couple's Love Survived Vietnam - Audiobook by Len and Luanna Rugh - Abailable on Audible at http://adbl.co/2fsykC7 
Narrated by Elliott Bales and Melanie Jennings-Bales

On a 1968 afternoon, Len Rugh opens a letter he'd hoped never to receive.

Although he's been married less than two years and his 23rd birthday is just days away, Len is ordered to report to the induction center in Los Angeles. Somehow, he's been drafted, and soon, he's in Vietnam.

Although he's fighting in a war he never asked to join, Len suffers a severe head wound. No one thinks he'll survive, but he does, and he returns home to his loving wife, Luanna. Once back home, he learns to talk, walk, be self-sufficient, and even graduates from college.

But nightmares of the war still haunt Len. Years later, seeking closure, he visits the Vietnam War Memorial to pay tribute to his brothers who died. But for some reason, none of their names are listed.

Now, Len must find out if the fate of his comrades is how he remembers, or if something else happened altogether.

Get ready to go on a journey where being true to love is just as important as being true to your country, where secrets that linger are meant to be uncovered, and where in times of uncertainty, it's important to remember promises kept.

Promises Kept Audiobook Prologue

For entire year, I refused to let myself get out of bed until I thought of something that I liked. Once I had that nice thought, I would make coffee and write something brief about it. And that positive start, civility in an increasingly uncivil world, was a blessing to me that I have decided to share.

The Best Day of My Life - Part 1

What if we began everyday thinking about things we like, rather what we dread or have to do? Would it make a difference in how we feel, how we invest our time or how we treat others? I tried it for a year, and wrote about it. Now I'm collecting these writings into a book. And hopefully it will encourage you to think about the things you like more than the things you don't.

Best Day Of My Life Part 2

About 20 years ago I read my way through the Federalist Papers. Kind of like trying to read Shakespeare without the sex and violence. Like many of you, I recently watched the Film version of Hamilton and I was inspired to go back to them. Still hard to read. But hopefully, a little easier to hear.
