The Heroes Outside the Storybooks

Thank you for joining me for the Blog Tour de Troops! You should have come here from Ron Vitale's blog. Please follow along to Ali Cross's blog next. Leave a comment and I will email with details to receive a copy of my paranormal romance, Destiny Divided, for free. Don't forget to leave your email address. For each comment, a soldier overseas also gets a free e-book, so comment away!




Welcome to my blog!
I write paranormal romance...
action packed adventure,
magic,
dark humor,
alpha males,
strong women,
and steamy romance!
for more info and samples of my book visit my site:

www.leiashaw.com



As fiction writers - especially the romance genre - we see the word hero and automatically think hunky, muscular men who dash around saving women from dragons, loneliness, evil step-mothers, bad boyfriends, and so on. And aren't they a dream to lust after?

As readers we may sigh and fan ourselves (or in my case, hunt down our partners and tackle them onto the bed), when we read the brave and gallant acts our fantasy heroes perform.

But we leave our fantasy crushes for the storybooks and trudge through our lives never giving a second thought to the real heroes among us. The ones who sacrifice the comforts we enjoy every day to protect our country. Heroes that devote themselves to our safety, independence, and freedom. Sometimes it's in grand acts of bravery, but most of the time it's in the mundane things we don't think about. Some have been through hell and back. Some are in hell right now. Others were in a different hell long ago that we'd never understand. Many are lucky enough never to have seen hell. All are important. All have served us in ways we'll never know. We owe each of them our respect and gratitude.

So, thank you, to the veterans and soldiers, the real life heroes.



"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Winston Churchill

    that is so true! Our soldiers are the real heros and deserve so much more. I love the tour and that it gives a little something back to those who put their lives on the line for our freedom.

    What a touching picture! We often think of our military as "men" but these days it's common for women to leave and serve our country as well leaving their children to protect us and our children. Wow - thanks is so NOT enough.

    that picture, and so many that are similar to it, make me tear up. the sacrifice isn't one i've experienced, but my best friend is marrying a man who served, and experienced extreme loss during that time. The scars heal, eventually, but his sacrifice, like that of so many others, will not be forgotten.

    Whenever I see a man or woman in uniform I make a point to say "Thank you for serving our country." I'm always humbled by their appreciation of that simple act. It seems to me like something so simple should be more commonplace for them, not a nice surprise. At any rate, my young children now do the same thing and I hope they continue to thank our country's true heroes even as they get older. Thank you, Leia, for doing your part to show our troops your appreciation. It's very thoughtful and generous of you.

    Thanks for supporting our troops!! I grew up a military brat with a long family line to the military. I would also be in the service but due to medical reasons, cant. However, I am one of the most patriotic people I know. Flags are flying outside my house. I always stop to thank a soldier (where ever we are). I proudly sing patriotic songs. I get mad when others take for granted the freedoms we have because of the sacrifice of so many love men and women. So thank you very much for giving the troops a copy of your book! And a special shout out to my father in law who is a Vietnam Vet and has a Purple Heart among other medals!

    My husband is currently serving this great country of ours. He is helping making it possible for our daughters to enjoy freedoms most take for granted.

    Having this Blog tour means so much to the troops.

    I started my blog when my husband and I met. It's just a little mundane site that helps keep my husband in the know about the daily goings on here at home. He would read it every night before he went to sleep while he was in training until he was deployed.

    I decided to have my blog printed as a hard copy book before he makes it back home from overseas. That way he will have a copy of my blog right in his hands. It's those little things that mean the most.

    My dad was a WWII vet and landed at Omaha Beach on D-day. He didn't live quite long enough to go on one of the Honor Tours and he didn't talk about the war but he looked very dashing in the pictures.
    Thanks for the book and thanks for supporting our troops

    thanks for doing this. As an army veteran of multiple deployments, I can assure you that reading provides sanity and a chance to explore worlds outside the dust/rain/dirt of the present un-fun. With the advent of eBook readers it has become even easier to read, try new authors and to feel less cut off from the world.

    sincerely - Holly (prosekniticATyahooDOTde)

    Such a wonderful idea. Please send a copy of your book to a soldier to help them escape for a while.

    Thank you for being a part of the blog tour. I think it's a wonderful way to honor our Service men & women.
    I'm a Military brat and it warms my heart to see so many people come out to send them books.

    Thank you everyone!

    I'm so glad there's another Tour de Troops!! Can't wait to see if there's more comments than Memorial Day! What a great way to give our troops a little escape in a book while they are away from home and at war. Thanks IndieBookCollective!! Thanks for the free book - can't wait to read your story!

    I would like the troop book to go to my cousin Zachary Neer serving in the United States Army in Afghanistan.

    Love the post, quote and picture. Thank you to all our heroes out there, all our veterans and all of our troops in and out of service. You'll never know how much you mean to all of us. I hope that you make it home safe and sound.
