Endorsements

Loyalty to country, respect for honor and courage, and love for one another are at the core of America’s survival through pain and loss. G.I. Joe & Lillie brings that message up close and personal through a story about one American G.I. family. I loved it. It moved me to tears. It reminds us all that America’s core values of love, loyalty, and faith are built upon compassion and commitment within each family.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, syndicated radio talk show host, best-selling author, and columnist

It is one of the best stories about hardship and pleasure that I have read!

Chuck Yeager, Brig. Gen. USAF, Ret

Joe Bonsall’s very touching tribute to his mom and dad reminds us of a generation of Americans who made it possible for all us to live freely. The sacrifices of the “G.I. Joes and Lillies” during WWII, and their subsequent adjustment to normal life is a story with which we can all identify. It’s honest and heartwarming, coupled with great humanity.

Dick Clark, dick clark productions and legendary television personality

This story exemplifies the integrity and character behind the American dream — even when the dream doesn’t come true in the way you hoped it would. A great story of enduring faith and true commitment.
