MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART
Chief Adjutant Joseph W. Palagyi of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, has joined Honor Flight in adopting "Jewel of the Mall" for his organization. The book will be distributed through their physical store in Northern Va and their website which is listed above. The Order of the Purple Heart works with veterans in the VA hospital helping them with their claims and the bureaucracy. The book is being sold to MOPH at cost enabling them to use it for mementos or to fund raise.
HONOR FLIGHT NETWORK
Honor Flight is an organization curently in 24 states that is sending WWII veterans to DC to see their Memorial. In 2007, Earl Morse and Jeff Miller sent 5000 vets for FREE to DC and this year are planning on getting 10000 vets to the Memorial. If you wish to make a donation or get involved, the link is above. Images from the various flights can be seen at www.jewelofthemall.com
The planes filled with Veterans are greeted by fire trucks as they arrive at the airport, crowds cheer as they deplane and the DC and National Park Police give them a motorcycle escort. On Saturdays, Senator Dole, the "unofficial greeter" is always there to shake hands, have photographs taken with him and say hello. When the veterans arrive home, they are given a copy of my book "Jewel of the Mall." As an author, I can say that I have found my audience and its gratifying. If you are a non-profit working with veterans and interested in significant discounts on the books, call the studio at 202-667-1965 or email me at srb@srbphoto.com

National Park Traveler Reviews Book
Bob Janiskee of National Park Traveler did an excellent review of my "Jewel of the Mall" book.
To quote: ..."This is a powerful book. It will please your eye and bring your patriotic juices to boil. One caveat: If you have fancied yourself a fair photographer, paging through this book may make you want to take your camera out of the case and throw it away.
I’m not sure how many photo books of the World War II Memorial you think you need, but if you can only get one, this should be it."....
thanks Bob
