I used to LOVE Heinlein. And now I can't read other Sci-Fi because they don't follow his Sci-Fi world. Don't care for the movies from his books.
ReplyDeleteI think Vonnegut became a peace activist after serving.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great post. Must have taken a little research to put that together!
ReplyDeleteNice list. I'm familiar with 1, 4 and 12.

Wonderful list, Heather. God bless them and the other men and women who have served.
ReplyDeleteRebecca: I've never actually read Heinlein, but then--I've never been that big on sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteColleen: I beleive you're right. His experience as a POW in Dresden had a profound affect on him.
Anita: Thanks! A little research, but not as much as expected. ☺
Thanks, Hazel! I expect those are the three names most people have heard. :)
Stephanie: Thank you, and Amen sister! ☺
