America - United We Stand - The Book

Posted By Blackfive

Pam of Soldiers' Angels sent me the following info about a book proposal and request for story submissions:

America-United We Stand

Capturing the Stories

The goal of this phase of the book’s development is to create a channel for the purpose of gathering stories/essays from every corner of America, and our military personnel across the globe. Final editing and production will begin May 1, 2005, with the official release date scheduled for July 4th, 2005.

We suggest a combination of website captures and mail drops for stories from all five branches of service-- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

Suggested descriptive invitation to troops:

The United States Military has been invited to participate in a publication entitled, America-- United We Stand. This book will be formatted in a coffee table, photo/narrative style that will share real stories of many Americans, both military and civilian, reflecting the values, heritage and unique spirit that have shaped America throughout its proud history. This book will celebrate those ideals, and why they continue to motivate us to stand up for justice and confront evil.

The producers of this book, along with your military leadership, welcome you to share your personal stories, and, in turn, look forward to sharing and celebrating these magnificent stories with our readers throughout the world. They also wish to state that the goal of this book is to avoid taking any political stand whatsoever. Labels such as “Conservative”, “Left”, “Right”, or “Politically Correct” are inappropriate here. We are, instead, proud Americans one and all who deeply love our country for all that it is, all that it represents, and all that it yet could be.

The editors will carefully review and select those stories that best portray our book’s central theme of appreciation for our country. These need not be “spectacular” stories of intense drama or notoriety, but rather, how the events and experiences of each individual story inspired each featured American to come to love his or her country even more.

Virtuserve, the publisher of America-United We Stand, has pledged to donate a portion of all sales of the book to both The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, and The Fallen Hero Fund .We have included two sample stories, and we look forward to reviewing each and every story that is submitted for this project.

As stories are reviewed, one-on-one interviews may be requested, and will be facilitated through the proper command Each individual whose story is published will receive a personalized commemorative plaque compliments of the publisher, Virtuserve.

Thanks to all for your participation.

E-mail receiving will be: America@virtuserve.org

Mail drop will be:

Virtuserve

5360 Jackson Drive

Suite 210

La Mesa, CA 91942

Please send all photo’s-attachments via snail mail.

I should add that the story submissions can be from anyone connected to the military (por ejemplo, spouses, dependents, etc.).
