“Colonel (Retired) Redmond’s book is a memoir and an exposé of both the shiny and tarnished elements of our Army and our Joint Services over the years, and a tribute to our great soldiers and leaders. If you ever served in the “old” Army, or even were a dependent, you will recognize the places and events, maybe not the same ones you experienced, but ones so similar you can’t help but smile and nod your head as you read his accounts.”  —John Taylor, Lieutenant Colonel, USA (Retired). Author: Lost Key, Desert Winds, Gulf Winds and Missing Sticks

“There are precious few times when words, although true, can evoke an experience in the reader…Larry Redmond’s do so, and often. If you want a sincere and thrilling look into the life of a genuine soldier/patriot, grab some boot polish and stand in the door! Green light says GO!”  —Bill Cain, Colonel, USA (Retired).
