On September 28th the Military Writer's Society of America honored several Navy veterans, Navy military spouses, and parents with top honors in their annual book awards.   Here is a partial list of winners with Navy affiliations.   Just a tremendous honor to have been nominated, much less designated as medal awards winners.   All finalists' books were judged by a panel of military judges and professional editors.

The ceremony was held in Dayton, Ohio near the Wright-Patterson Airforce base.  The national museum of Air Force Aviation contains five hangers of US military planes, as well as the history of Dayton hometown boys Orville and Wilbur Wright.
