Oct. 23, 2007, might have been just another Tuesday for most Americans but for Carmin Rougle, it was the day all future moments with her father were stolen. She was just 3 years old.
Army Staff Sgt. Larry Rougle, of West Jordan, Utah, was killed at Sawtalo Sar Mountain, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, when he was engaged by enemy small arms fire. At just 25 years old, he left behind a young daughter with cloudy memories of her father and loved ones buried in grief.
Today, Project 33 Memorial Foundation is running to honor his sacrifice. You can read the full story here: https://militaryfamilies.com/military-veterans/project-33-a-green-beret-led-nonprofit-encourages-america-to-honor-the-fallen/

MFM Book Club: Interview with Madeline Martin
Military Families Magazine LIVE! with Author Madeline Martin
The Last Bookshop In London is our March Book Club pick!
As a Europe still reeling from the Great War slowly awakens to the possibility that Hitler intends to spark another, Grace Bennett and her best friend Vivienne arrive in London, ready to start their future as independent women. The early indicators of war are all around them, though at first the women brush them aside, dazzled by the excitement and possibility of life in the big city. Grace finds work at Primrose Hill, a bookshop that is woefully behind the times, and sets about using her shopkeeping background from the countryside toward modernizing the shop.
The Last Bookshop in London traces Grace’s journey from this bright-eyed young woman to a survivor of the London Blitz, and the transformative power of books to bring people together, even amidst tragedy and terror.
This is Military Families Magazine’s Book Club discussion with author Madeline Martin.
