Wounded Warrior Project

The wounded warrior project to me is quite obviously a good way to help soldiers hurt from war, physically or mentally, with the problems they have.
They say it is a good way to spread the reality of war and awareness of what really happens and what people go through. And I agree with that. It is a very efficient and helpful way to show people the truth and have them help.
They also say it's a good way to help these warriors go through life after war better. And I agree with that to an extent, since obviously not everyone will support this venture.
Because of the help and information this program provides, I support the wounded warrior project.

Inference about Running

Even though Forest and Henry were both obviously running, there motives were far different from one another's.
Forest ran to save his platoon, and his close friend Bubba. A very honorable and courageous reason. While the reason for Henry's running was quite the opposite. He ran out of pure fear. "He ran like a blind man" because the realization of war finally hit him. Even though there actions were similar, the reasons for them were far from the same.

Dark Secrets 1: Legacy of Lies

'I couldn't believe Matt had abandoned me. Then I thought, he knows what's happening. He started these wheels moving. That instant I was pulled into the darkness.' Legacy of lies interested me with it's complex and suspenseful story, although confusing at times, leaving you unable to ever begin to predict what's next.
The setting of the book helps the overall mood of what happens. For example, them being in an old mansion helps with the mysterious feel. Also them being in a town where they have known everyone gives a sense of false security in a way. And one more way is that there is a place they are specifically instructed not to go, which in a way makes it obvious that there is an important meaning behind it, making it a classic mystery.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes classic mystery and fantasy elements in a book, along with unexpected plot twists.
