Dinner with Warriors Cookbook:
A collection of favorite recipes and inspirational stories from heroesthat were injured or fell during the war on terrorCopyright @ 2010
Dinner with Warriors is a unique collection of recipes and inspirational stories from heroes of the War on Terror. The purposes of the book are first, to raise funds for some of the organizations out there that help today’s American Warrior and their families, and second to introduce America to a few of her heroes. All of the net proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will be donated to a few hand selected organizations that assist the heroes, and their families, that were wounded or fell during OIF and OEF.
As you go through this recipe book and enjoy some incredible recipes, you will find that next to each recipe is a picture and a story of a hero who has either fallen or has been wounded in the War on Terror. They’d like their stories to help people see that these warriors are fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, neighbors and friends. Their sacrifice for our country runs much deeper than just their lives. And we have a responsibility to remember them and care for them as they cared for us!
This collection of recipes and inspirational stories is only possible because of the love and camaraderie these warriors and their families have for each other. As difficult as it is to share these stories, these brave men and women have opened up about their experiences in an attempt to help others in the same position. They know and understand the difficulties that face a returning hero who has been injured; they understand the pain of losing a loved one and the hardships that follow. They are committed to helping others who are going through the same things they have gone through.
Family Cookbook:
Recipes from Marines, Families and Friends This cookbook was created by Marines’ families, as well as members of other arms of our military and troop supporters. All proceeds from the sales of the cookbook will benefit the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund.
Our long time supporter and friend of the Semper Fi Fund, Gladys Rodriguez has solicited recipes to create the first Family Cookbook – Recipes from Marines, Families and Friends. The following is a description written within the cookbook:
“This cookbook was created by Marines’ families, as well as members of other arms of our military and troop supporters. It started with an informal conversation regarding other ways to raise money, and it quickly became a project that brought together a very giving and close community. From the proud parents of Marine recruits, to family members of high-ranking officials of the Marine Corps and other arms of the military, and just plain citizens who wanted to help, the recipes started pouring in.
We are confident that with the help of the many generous and patriotic individuals who truly appreciate the sacrifices that these young men and women are making, the funds raised from the sale of this cookbook will be a constant source of help to our injured warriors and their families.
We hope that as you enjoy the recipes, you will take a moment to think about our troops and will choose to get involved in assisting with this fundraiser. Every individual has the power to help. Talk to your family and friends about it and spread the word – it’s as simple as that. We do the rest. “

The Military Wives' Cookbook:
200 Years of Traditions, Recipes, and Remembrances Author: Carolyn Quick Tillery, Copyright @ 2008
The Military Wives' Cookbook is a collection of recipes, anecdotal stories, and vintage photographs tracing the history and unique contributions of American military wives. Beginning with an Independence Tea Party featuring the foods served by the women of Edenton, North Carolina, at a party on October 25, 1774, it recreates the scenes and foods that recount the stories of the commitments and sacrifice that military wives have given the nation for more than two hundred years.
Presented in menu format, each chapter includes a story that relates to a group of recipes evocative of the period in which the story is set. Some chapters recreate recipes from a historic account, such as "A Colonial Thanksgiving" and "Christmas in the Confederate White House," both of which describe holidays celebrated under wartime conditions. Others are of the international foods they have learned to enjoy from such places as Morocco, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Japan, and Korea. The book is divided into six large sections: Teas and Coffees; Buffets, Brunches, and Lunches; A Taste of Home: Dinner Family Style; Alfresco Dining; Over There: An International Affair; Home for the Holidays and Other Celebrations.
The women, through whose eyes these stories are told and whose recipes are shared, are truly remarkable. They often balanced the responsibilities of maintaining home and hearth, raising a family, managing a business, and supporting a war effort. In addition, they found time to extend themselves in friendship and hospitality to one another and to women in the places where they were stationed, earning them a well-respected reputation that continues to this day.
