Summary

Charlie's Ashes: A Greatest Generation Story is an acclaimed factually-based narrative about five WWII veterans and war heroes, ages 93 to 101 (Sam Lombardo, John Beard, Bill McCowen, Joe Gossen, and Charlie Geiger). They are members of The author's Destin, Florida, veterans group known as the Crispy Warriors. Also featured is an African-American Vietnam War veteran (Tommy McCraney). Two weeks before a Veterans Day "Red, White, and Blue Celebration" at Harbor

Walk Village, they learn that Charlie Geiger has passed. Wrestling with what comes next, Sam Lombardo challenges the other WWII veterans to meet him at 5:00 a.m the next morning behind their assisted living facility and not to ask questions. Author Richard Adams is the first of three brothers to graduate from West Point, a Vietnam War veteran, an Army aviator who served a tour in the Middle East, a student of American history, a civil/environmental engineer, a former adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University and the United States Military Academy, and the founder of an international engineering company. He currently serves as the Chief Strategy Officer for Ion Power Group LLC, an innovative renewable "green" solar energy company. His other works include: "The Parting: A Story of West Point on the Eve of the Civil War," "Eben Kruge: How 'A Christmas Carol' Came to be Written," and "Sông Bé: A Legacy of Vietnam."
