George and Bea, look at the top, to the right of the story title, there are two groups of Icons, the first one in the right hand group (next to the Facebook icon) is an email button. Alternatively, you can right click, select all, copy and then paste into note pad, then clean up to read later (This is what I do)

Truly a story befitting Saturday Evening Post. Inspirng!!! I too read the story of the boy with the Backpack. This story is equally compelling.

Truly a memorable story. She need not have been the lovely blonde. The world hopes for physical beauty and a happy ending, but beneath it all is the truth that love becomes an entity in and of itself, asking nothing, giving all. Great job, Lon.

I,too, read Jon Lunds story about the boy with the backpack and this story is equally compelling. I hope there will be more by this author in future issues of The Saturday Evening Post.

Thank you for this story. I also read the boy with the backpack. Is there any chance these will be on Nook Books (Barnes and Nobel) in the future. I hope so.

I have read only one of Jon Lund’s stories about the boy with the backpack but enjoyed it. This one whetted my appetite for more.

Excellent story that masterfully takes us right into an Afghan battle with the Taliban, dramatically portraying the horrible consequences of soldiers, if they do not die, suffering unimaginable wounds, while the cowardly brass hide ostensibly behind skirts making war. The email exchanges were just magical, but at some point I recognized the story’s twist from a move, “The Book and the Rose” (2001), based on a short story by Max Lucado.

your magazine said we could get this story emailed but I don’t see any other place for an email address. I would like to have this story where I don’t have to read it on-line.

What a fine story! It is only the second one that I have read by Jon Land. The first was
a great short story about a mysterious boy with a backpack. I hope to find more of this author’s work in SEP.
