The Clerk---And Old Sergeant Story
The Silver Star Families of America ^ | 20018 | Steve Newton

Posted on 01/20/2018 7:10:18 PM PST by Steve Newton

Need a little help folks.

A co author has joined the "Old Sergeant" team---Meet Gayle Rae!

She has developed a new character and since the Old Sergeant was practically born on FR I wanted to give you first glimpse and also to get your reaction to her writing.

Tell us what you think. And thank you.

I’m not familiar with Army protocol — Would a corporal typically address a sergeant as “sir”?

Sure. It was entertaining to read. Good mind pictures if you understand what I mean.

Try SciFi next. Make it hard SciFi. I would buy her book.

Hummm. That’s a very good question. I know there are some out there. But a good leader cares more for his men than his own life.

Hello, Steve, and all the others who responded to this story. This is Gayle Rae, and I would like to take a minute to say “Hi!” and to thank each of you for the encouraging response. I would also like to thank Steve for the opportunity to work with him and the Old Sargent. I look forward to more of the same. :)
