Her sense of patriotism, inspired by her WWI combat veteran grandfather and United States Marine veteran husband, encouraged her to become a chronicler of veterans’ experiences, now available in three volumes entitled “FLY THE FLAG FOR ME”.
Her involvement in Storytelling resulted in her authoring another book “IT’S IN THE GENES”, which includes stories of her family, (many taking place before she was born). These are stories from England before and during WWII, experiencing bombing raids and six years of war, following with her early years in America.
Whether giving her audience insights into living in England, describing hair raising and life threatening experiences during the WWII Blitz or telling stories of those in the service of their country, her stories are full of love, humor, family and human interest. Joy is inspiring, entertaining and informative.
Joy Aavang has been awarded numerous honors, including the VFW Citizen Recognition Award, Mason’s Community Builder Award, Inspire by Example by National Volunteer Week, and Certificate of Appreciation by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and also served with Americorps Vista Volunteers.vizualizați mai puține
