Camel Red

Camel Red lives up to all the promises made by Senator Bob Dole in his Foreword written for the book. It is a not so gentle reminder that war is hell, as well as a tender love story of two people who overcame each horrible obstacle that fate deemed to throw in their paths. This stranger than fiction true story traces the lives of Larry and Azelia Heron, two heroes who serve as role models today's generation facing a war against terror. In Camel Red, Larry Heron goes from all-star athlete to World War II's "most severely wounded veteran." This action packed tale is loaded with little known facts, like the disposition of poison gases carried in at D-Day, and a special school for blinded veterans created by President Roosevelt. It features a legendary chaplain known as the Godfather of the 9th Division, and a famous doctor who was the 1990 recipient of the Nobel Prize in medicine. Only once in its long history has the DAV ever bestowed the honor of naming a chapter for a veteran while he was still alive. That man was Lawrence J. Heron, the man who would not die.
