A dozen Colorado writers collaborated to write and publish “Beyond Belief – True Stories of Colorado Heroes That Defy Comprehension” and make this amazing new book available in advance of Memorial Day. The 545-page, illustrated book details the stories of 86 Colorado military heroes from 72 different cities, towns, and even small communities, (including 4 from Pueblo) many of whose deeds were unknown in their home town – UNTIL NOW! In his Foreword for the book, former Army Ranger and current Colorado Congressman Jason Crow writes: “These incredible stories highlight the unbelievable feats our fellow Coloradans have accomplished in service to our great nation. I am beyond proud of these Colorado heroes, their sacrifices, and their continued impact on our nation.”
The book is available NOW in Hardback, Paperback, and Kindle on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1J1WMGF
or from my author page at www.herobooks.org.
A special Book Launch/Media Event will be held at American Legion Post #1 in Denver with Master of Ceremonies Merry Matthews of KRDO-TV Colorado Springs on May 13. If you purchase a copy in advance, feel free to bring it to be signed by the authors and living profiled heroes who will be in attendance.
