I would like to share a new book I received a copy of called Cherish America (Stories of Courage, Character, and Kindness), Foreword by Buzz Aldrin in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links I will make a small percentage off the products you purchase.
I sat down to read Cherish America (Stories of Courage, Character, and Kindness), Foreword by Buzz Aldrin and you should have seen David and Charlie do a double take at how think the book was. Both of them said it would take them a year to read. LOL
Not me if I like a book I can usually finish it in a day or two. This is what happened with Cherish American that share stories of courage, character and kindness which we need more of in this world. I like how the Author tells us who each story came from.
I learned so much through the book that if I had been #Homeschooling Charlie we would have used this book in our History/ Reading Class. The illustrations in the book drew my family in and even captured Charlie and David’s attention that I found them sitting down thumbing through the book.
At times they even stopped and read a chapter or two and then as a family we discussed what they read. Having a copy of Cherish America (Stories of Courage, Character, and Kindness), Foreword by Buzz Aldrin got both Charlie and David interested in reading which was a Godsend for my family.

Meet the Author: Robert B Charles
Robert “Bobby” Charles grew up in Wayne, Maine. After a rural childhood punctuated by Woodland adventures, tutelage by aging veterans, and graduation from the local high school, he graduated from Dartmouth College (AB), Oxford University (MA, PPE), and Columbia University Law School (JD). Professionally, he has served in the judicial, legislative, and executive branches, clerked on the US Court of Appeals, 9th Cir., privately litigated, taught, and now runs a small company focused on national security.
A ten-year naval intelligence officer (USNR), he volunteered for active duty on 9/11/01. In 2003, he was unanimously confirmed by the US Senate, becoming Assistant Secretary of State, under Colin Powell. In that capacity, he managed a two-billion dollar budget, State’s airwing, set up the Iraqi and Afghan police training programs, and managed global security programs in 70 countries, from Colombia to Kosovo.
He is also AMAC’s (The Association of Mature American Citizens) national spokesperson. In 2018, he published “Eagles and Evergreens,” about growing up in Maine under the influence of World War II veterans. Today, he lives and writes on the lake he fished as a child, bald eagles in his treetops, days full, nights cool, forever grateful.
