Books by Richard Madsen

They stood with our country.They went out into the sub-zero temperatures of a Montana winter to "stand colors", to show respect for the US flag and the nation it represented. They were the graduates of the Navy V-12 officer training program. Some went on to fight in World War II or Korea. Others were simply the watchmen who helped pull the country together after those conflicts. This book is a thank you to them and the families who waited for them at home. With this book we pass on what they stood for.Richard Madsen trained as a Navy officer at the Montana School of Mines and later Kansas University from 1943-46. He served as a Supply Officer at Subic Bay in the Philippines from 1946-47. He and his wife Viola raised 6 children and he now lives in Lenexa, Kansas.
