This volume is a collection of review papers published with my students and colleagues on stressors that occurred for youth during COVID-19. These stressors are similar to those that were included in a previous volume called Adolescent Problems (xlibris, 2023), although COVID-19 seems to have exacerbated those problems.

This book is specifically for the enlisted Marine. The officers have their books. Who will tell our stories of what happens and maybe why? What could have been done differently? This book contains a story part and a dialogue aspect. It dares asks so many essential questions; left for the young Marine (that all deserve deeper explanations and answers for some of the things that are not always so obvious)? The story itself, begins with boot camp and the dialogue centers around how we can possibly improve the single greatest elite fighting force in history. This book is obviously an American tale and it is ours. It is brutal, profane, and all too real. The few, the proud; the Marines. Semper Fi

The God Interpretation is a juxtaposition of the religion of Christianity and the sciences of quantum mechanics, gravity, thermodynamics, evolution, and cosmology. Truth, in its completest form, must contain both the truth of religion and the truth of science. Religion and science are like two sides of the same coin of truth. Without the presence of both religion and science upon the coin of truth, the coin of truth is fundamentally incomplete. Contributions to the truth of religion come directly from Jesus, Moses, Saint Paul, and Saint Peter. Contributions to the truth of science come directly from Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Weiner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Charles Darwin, and Enrico Fermi.

Richard White has always enjoyed writing family history and stories. His four previous books include a family history, two books of travelogues, and letters to his ancestors. In My Life in Stories and Photos, his autobiography, Richard connects the stories of his youth and adulthood with over 130 photos from 1950 to 2023. He writes, "This book is a far cry from the detailed draft of my autobiography, which I wrote in the 2000's. It was hiding for years in a thick three-ring binder in the basement, and it only went as far as New Year's Eve 2000. I wondered, 'How should I tell my story?' I opted for a substantially pruned-down narrative complemented by photos capturing special moments in my life through the years. So many details have been left out. But I hope what I have included here will be an interesting and at times compelling story."

At David's (3rd son) invitation, Ruth and I decided to make a trip to Florida and view the planetary launch to Jupiter of the Lucy Spacecraft at 5:34 AM on Saturday October 16th. In addition, we planned to visit Tommy (2nd son) and Laurel, his wife. Also, as long as we were down there, we scheduled to drive to Orlando and spend a few days at Disney World, since Ruth had never been to the Magic Kingdom in Florida. All the preparations were made well in advance. I booked a round trip ticket on the AMTRAK auto train to leave the Lorton, VA station at 4:00 PM on Thursday October 14th and return one week later. I had a confirmed reservation. The train was scheduled to arrive at Sanford, FL by 8:00 AM, the next day. While waiting for the launch, I had made a two-night reservation at the Patrick Air (now called Space) Force Base Visitor Officers Quarters (VOQ). We planned on staying four nights with Charlie (4th son) in the Disney World area at his "time-share" located a few miles away from the entertainment center. These were the plans. They were not to be accomplished exactly due to many challenges and frustrations.After a leisurely lunch at one of Ashby Ponds restaurants, we went back to our apartment, finished packing, and sat around until three hours prior to the train's departure. On the way down to Lorton at about 3 o'clock, I received a cell phone call from the train dispatcher inquiring about our location. I thought that odd. But I told him we should be there in plenty of time. The next thing I heard was that we should have been at the station no later than 2:30 PM. I looked at my ticket and discovered mixed in with ten other footnotes that were each one millimeter high, the notation that all passengers and vehicles must be checked in by 2:30 PM. When we got to the station at 3:30 PM we were refused boarding even though we had a confirmed reservation made many weeks previously (Strike 1). An offer was made to book us on the next day's trip, but that would mean we would miss the launch.

A former Air Force fighter pilot relates his experiences and impressions about learning to fly the MQ-9 Reaper, a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV - drone). The author compares and contrasts his experiences of flying the F-4 and F-15 in the Air Force with flying the MQ-9 on military missions as a civilian contract pilot. This autobiography gives the reader insights to the living and operational environments the author encountered in his deployments to remote locations in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This book addresses the differences between flying manned and unmanned aircraft in military operations as well as the reasons RPV operators can suffer PTSD when flying from the safe confines of a control van out of harm's way.
