Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel" "In 1989, some of Florida's most effective crime fighters were unleashed through the creation of the Attorney General's Seniors vs. Crime Project. These crime fighters have been responsible for recovering nearly $5-million for seniors who were victims of con-artists. I am proud to be a partner of these outstanding citizens." - Bill McCollum, Florida Attorney General "A volunteer force of 'Senior Sleuths' have earned respect, applause and thanks of all Floridians for dedicated and effective service in the war on crime. The growth and increasing age of Florida's senior citizens has attracted criminals who seek more vulnerable prey. The Seniors vs. Crime Project is giving potential prey some sharp claws and teeth and wisdom to fight back." -"Sun-Senntinel" Editorial "The success of Seniors vs. Crime in Florida should alert law enforcement groups in other states to organize similar senior groups of caring, active elderly citizens." -Chuck Witlock, "Vancouver Washington Columbian"

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Providing insight in a familys history against the backdrop of major world wars, Busters Book offers a collection of more than a thousand letters exchanged during the twentieth century as young men provided service to their country. In this memoir, author Donald Junkins has compiled letters, diaries, interviews, recollections, and photographs of the familys participants in both world wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. This fascinating historical record includes the stories of a variety of escapades: from single-handedly opening an eight-year-old Nazi prison camp; to B-24 air forays from New Guinea in which an aerial gunner shot down two Japanese Zero planes; and to the rescue in Korea of wounded men stalled in a jeep in the middle of a freezing river that culminated in the awarding of the Silver Star. Busters Book reflects both the lives of a middle-class American family during these years and the daily activities of two generations of young American men at war.

Some you wouldn't leave in charge of your Grandma unless you wanted to find out just how fast the old girl could run. But, if you're very, very lucky there will be the one dog you would lay down your life for – and for me that dog is Buster." Buster, an English springer spaniel who has served his comrades and his country with unstinting devotion, has saved thousands of lives. This is the story of his partnership with RAF Police Sergeant Will Barrow, told by Will himself, describing how each came to save the other's life. It is a relationship that produced some heroic feats—including sniffing out explosive vests that led to the arrests of two suicide bombers—in the dust and desert heat of Afghanistan and beyond. Buster, uniquely, has served five tours of duty in three theatres of war (Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan)—more than any other military dog. He also won the prestigious Crufts Friends for Life Award in 2012, and has gone on to become the official lifetime mascot of the RAF Police, the only dog in history to have been honored in that manner. A best friend in dog's clothing, an RAF dog with his mossy feet firmly on the ground, Buster is truly a dog in a million.
