An Original Christmas story
Visions of Reality Another good one by this author.

I found this to be a truly original Christmas story. The mechanics of the writing could use a little work, but the story and chacters are original and intriquing. It's about time someone wrote a story that didn't make people feel ashamed about being alone around the holidays. This man should be given some sort of award. ... Read more

Product Description
"What a story - and what a profile in courage! At a time when American men and women are once again fighting and dying on foreign battlefields, Camel Red is a not so gentle reminder that we owe much to the Larry Herons of this country - a man who not only fought for us but who refused when he came home to let his battle wounds and disabilities stop him from contributing so much to his community and state and country."
--Michael Dukakis, Former Governor of Massachusetts

"Camel Red rekindled the impact of the day at Valley Forge Army Hospital when I recognized a man I had known since high school days as a respected competitor on the playing field. It captures the essence of what this most courageous patient experienced, his pain, suffering, and resiliency. It shows how against all odds this battlefield hero managed not only to survive, but to go on to lead an exemplary life."
--Dr. Joseph E. Murray, 1990 Recipient of the Noble Prize in Medicine

"Camel Red was captivating and engrossing, next to impossible to put down. It's the wonderful story of two great people to whom this country owes so very much."
--Stuart Nelson, Communications Coordinator of the Blinded Veterans Association

"Reading Heron's story reawakened memories of a host of severely wounded brave men and the great satisfaction our surgical teams derived from returning them to a useful life. It is a great American story of survival."
--Dr. Bradford Cannon, Chief of Plastic Surgery, Valley Forge General Hospital ... Read more

Awesome book
What a great love story and book of courage. It is amazing what Larry Heron went through with all the surguries and procedures. Even now it would be horrific, but compared to the medical procedures and things they can do now verses what wasavailable many years ago is incredible. Despite all his injuries and physical handicaps after the injury, what a beautiful person both he and his wife Azalia were and what a great love story. The whole time I was reading the book I kept thinking what a great movie this would make! I highly recommend this book.

Camel Red
Just wanted to let everyone know how much I enjoyed "Camel Red". It is a story I will always cherish as one of my best loved. It very much appears that Greg captured the essence of both Azelia and Larry as they were, and that Larry"s character and personality were depicted perfectly, as was the beauty of Azelia both inside and out. It also shows that Azelia and Larry were in love throughout their lives and were endearing to everyone who knew them.
This book was so captivating that I read it without putting it down, not once, but 3 consecutive times! This story should be read by all veterans, wounded or not, for the inspiration portrayed by both Larry and Azelia. Regardless of age, it is a "must" read for all generations and I think should be one that Tom Hanks, Ron Howard or any director could make into a memorable and profitable movie!


Olga Kalpakgian, Col. USA Ret.

Awesome story well told
I just finished reading Camel Red last night. It was fantastic! When I started the book, I expected the story to be factual and interesting -but what I didn't expect is how well the author captured the spirit of what Larry and his wife, and the country for that matter went through, which to me is what the story is really about. What an incredible accomplishment. I highly recommend this book.

(3.5)A paean to a genuine WWII hero


Recently, World War II veterans have been touted as "The Greatest Generation", but as more of them pass into history, the survivors are concerned, in a constantly changing world, that their deeds will be forgotten. At the time, everyone believed that the Second World War was "the war to end all wars", that never again would such numbers of young men be sent across the sea to fight for their country.

Unfortunately, since 1945 we have known conflict in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. These engagements have each reaped generational tolls, but none with such clear distinction and clarity of purpose; the soldiers who served in WWII produced innumerable heroes, one of who is memorialized in Camel red.

An outstanding officer, with dreams of a future in professional football, Larry Heron of Hopedale, Massachusetts, was severely wounded and disfigured in an act of heroism that saved his men, but changed the course of his life. Heron was only 26-years old and endured over 26 operations to repair his face, but his eyesight was destroyed. A lesser man would have courted bitterness and self-pity, but this was no ordinary man. His life was lived painfully, but honorably, raising a family and contributing to the welfare of his fellow veterans in the local community.

A newlywed when he was wounded, Heron's beloved wife was pivotal to his recovery. Even when she viewed his horribly disfigured face for the first time, Azelia never flinched, steadfast in her unconditional love for her husband. Before Larry's tragic disfigurement, the young couple exemplified the American family in the 1940's, grounded in their love of family, patriotism and religious faith. Equally important to Heron's continuing progress were the groups who offered both physical and emotional support: his fellow soldiers, the appreciative community of Hopedale and the tireless physicians who performed the surgeries to reconstruct Heron's face.

Heron leaves a proud legacy, a man who stood for the best of his country, gravely wounded, fighting insurmountable odds to survive his injuries and take back his life. Certainly, Heron is one of his generation's exemplary heroes. In his writing debut, Gregory David Page does justice to Larry Heron's memory, a paean to a heroic life, well-lived. Luan Gaines/2004.
