Where Eagles Fly, Remember Me...
Where Eagles Fly, Remember Me... | R S Hunter
1 post
This is the unique story of Red Campbell - the story of a man who would stop at nothing to live his dream. In the autumn of 1940 when he was eighteen, John A. Campbell III (Red) tried to enlist with the US Army Air Force. He was turned away. His high school education and youth were working against him. John was desperate to get into the fight. Even the Royal Air Force (RAF) turned him down, telling him to return when he was nineteen. Red's birthday was only one month away. He returned. He was accepted. He became an Eagle. In the words of John A. Campbell III (Red): "Over the years, friends and relatives have asked me why I have not written a book about my WWII experiences. My answer has been that there are several books already published in which the writer has said some very flattering things about me (not always accurate). So why should I ruin the image already established by telling the truth? Now, as I surrender to the evening of my life, I finally realize that I have much to tell. Where Eagles Fly is my story, as I remember it. The most important thing to me is to know that my kids and their kids and all of the generations to follow, know exactly who I am and from where I came . . . This is my story...Where Eagles Fly is my Legacy...Remember Me..."

Our #LitMail group was rocked yesterday by the news that 1 of our members, @TheCanuckReader lost her battle with ovarian cancer. She dedicated her life to founding a wildlife rescue Centre for which she was awarded Humanitarian Of The Year by the Canadian government for her work with injured eagles🦅 It would be awesome if we could all donate even a few dollars to her charity in the name of an amazing Litten
