Robert Lee Melcher served as a major in the US Army from 1943-1945 in, leaving the war decorated with a Bronze Star Medal for his heroism. Highlighting the strong German Texan background and perspective of a loyal American officer who fought against the army of his ancestral homeland, Melcher’s story comes to life through an abundance of personal letters, diary, memorabilia, and memories from his daughter. https://bit.ly/4gKtDS6

A great two nighter last week at Texas A&M, home of the TAMU Press, publishers of our new biography.

During our “Questions” bit, two ladies asked “Are you going to sing the Aggie’s War Hymn?” We said we’d never heard of it but would they sing it for us. So both ladies, Texas A&M alumnae, Class of ’69 and ’74, came onstage, exhorted the audience to stand and led a full-throated rendition of the AWH. The place literally rocked. A deafening, delightful moment.

And then two days later the Aggies played Notre Dame and whupped ‘em, or should I say gigged ‘em. Just a coincidence? You decide.
