Army Renews Its Covenant With Army Families

The Army Family Covenant was officially re-signed at Fort Stewart in Georgia this past November. Army leaders re-signed the important agreement between leadership and Army families one year after it was implemented.

Army Family Covenant recognizes the many sacrifices made by Army Families during this time of war and pledges to help Army families in a variety of ways, including increased child and health care opportunities, as well as real efforts to increase the career and educational opportunities for all members of the Army family, and the Army spouse in particular.  

During the signing ceremony Army leaders said that the re-signing was a declaration of the importance the Army continues to place on families. The officers present emphasized that although they were not present at last year’s signing, the Army’s commitment to Army families is strong. 

“Just because the first folks who signed (the Army Family Covenant) have left does not mean there’s any less energy or desire to see this come to fruition,” Major General Cucolo said during opening remarks before the signing. “The team that signed this might have changed, but the commitment is the same. We’re here today to re-affirm that commitment.”

How to Write a Book in One Year

Writers are the voice of the people. They draw on our human truths and use their imaginations to paint the nature of life. Their voice of honesty paired with a parallel imagination defines their ability to capture the attention of readers everywhere. Everyone has the capacity to write. Some writers get heard through traditional publishing houses. Most don’t. But with the infusion of writers using print on demand publishing technology to publish their work over the last decade, writers who have traditionally been left out of the book publishing industry now have a voice of their own.

However, when you do write a book it becomes liberating and rewarding to see your words, your stories, your voice, organized in a paperback or hardcover book. Publishing a book can be done on your own and here are some guidelines to help you get your book off the ground and get it printed in less than a year without much investment and without selling your soul.

Start Writing Your Book Now.  Read more...
