Want to know what mementoes, lucky charms, talismans, etc., you kept in battle?


Ms.Jensen: Good Luck Charms is the title of a book I'm working on during the next few months. Every service member who deploys to a war zone carries with them good luck charms: inspirational quotes, Bible quotes, lucky tokens, photos, talismans, etc. Many also have small rituals or superstitions they rely on before missions, such as wearing a specific t-shirt, or eating a specific meal, maybe tapping their weapon 5 times, or glancing at photos of their loved ones before heading into danger. This book would be a compilation of first person stories from men and women describing what superstitions they had, and what good luck charms they kept with them, and why each item was important to them. These stories would be 1-2 pages each, and some would include photos.
Anyone interested can connect with me via LinkedIn, or email me to Gbloomfield2012@gmail.com.
Thanx for anything you can do to get the word out.
Take care;
Gary Bloomfield
