Today “Mollie’s War” is featured on the “Passing of a Military Mom/Author” section on the website of the National Museum of American Jewish Military History. Although we were not able to attend the Family Stories, Daughters, Mothers and Bubbes event in Washington DC in May 2011, Mary Westley from the Museum read some of my mother’s letters.

Please read my interview in A Place for Writers, the blog of Julie Jordan. It’s the leading entry on her blog today. It was fun doing this interview and connecting with Julie, another child of a WWII Veteran. Her father was a B-29 pilot in the Pacific.
