I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
Beatrice Salvidor, MFSO and GSFP, center with photo of her fallen loved one. She brought a well coordinated honorum and a compelling story to share. Lietta Ruger, MFSO, in the background, white t-shirt and Rebecca Bahr, another MFSO family in pink shirt. This was one of the press conferences where Cindy talked, and then families from Gold Star Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out gave brief statements.
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
