I’m a Hero, Too! by Jenny Sokol
Many of you ask me for ways to help the wives and children of our locally deployed Marines. Recently, our close friend, Jenny Sokol, published a children’s book titled I’m a Hero Too. Jenny, a columnist for the Orange County Register, wrote this book for children and spouses coping with deployment or separation. I recently sat with Jenny at a book signing in Irvine and had a chance to grab a copy or two for myself. As the wife of a Marine and friend to many with small children dealing with deployment, I was touched by Jenny’s book and feel it will be helpful for my own, Kylie, when the time comes for Mr. Farnum to deploy again (which will hopfefully be in the far, distant future!). Anyhow, Jenny has set up a book donation program so those of us who would like these books in the hands of kids with daddies deployed can purchase books and donate them to local, deployed units.
